This is one of the most moving movies I have seen. It presents the reality of the Holocaust/Porriamos as seen through the art of survivors. It features interviews and showing of the art of both Karl Stojka and Dina Babbitt among others.
Karl Stojka (and his sister Celia) are Romani survivors of the Holocaust. Dina Babbitt was a young Jewish painter in Auschwitz whose fate became totally intertwined with the fate of the Roma/Sinti prisoners.

for more information on the artists interviewed in this excellent movie.
I recommend AS SEEN THROUGH THESE EYES to everyone interested in the Holocaust/Porraimos. Art is a powerful medium and this is a compelling narrative.
In the next few days I hope to review LIVING THROUGH IT TWICE by Paul Polansky, the unwavering supporter of Romani, and
TORN AWAY FOREVER by Yvonne Slee, as Romani activist in Australia.
