I love WWII stories, they are a great mix of heroism, horror, and humanity. While this is a WWII novel in every sense, this is a story about a rarely discussed aspect of atrocities committed during this dark time in human history. This is a tale of the Gypsy holocaust, the trials and tribulations of a people doing what’s necessary to avoid Nazi death camps. Grab a copy and travel back in time to experience a fascinating look at mankind coping with a monster and his minions.

The plot was really well written and it just such an amazing story that is very interesting to read. I would recommend this book although some of the events felt rushed. (  ) gerardo1582 | Oct 25, 2019 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I REALLY wanted to love this book. When I received it in the mail it was quite a surprise, and I couldn't wait to finish what I was reading so that I could read this one. Immediately the prolific use of the "g" word, one I've always known to be derogatory, was very off putting. I set my feelings aside and continued to read. The plot, although AMAZING, was horribly rushed. Within one page several key events will take place with little or no explanation or chain of events leading to it. If this book were lengthened significantly with descriptions, scenery, character developments, etcetera and the "g" word replaced with Roma or Romani I would have loved this book. Maybe my review is harsh or too critical, but as an avid reader it was just not for me. (  ) EmilytheLibrarian | Oct 22, 2019 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. Full disclosure, I was provided with a review cooyThis is an interesting work of historical fiction pertaining to an era of history that I was aware of, but admittedly my knowledge was limited. The plot centers around a group of Roma who find themselves caught up in the genocidal events of WWII. Part love story, part action adventure, and part history, this book is a good story concerning a moment in history yhat may not be familiar to most.

Baro Xaimos: A Novel of the Gypsy Holocaust follows the almost miraculous survival path of a group of Roma, led by Tobor Mericano, through the Nazi years, including World War II.The novel opens in the 1930s on the eve of the formation of the Marzahn Camp. This camp is the prototype for a system of concentration camps designed to contain, oppress and ultimately kill all Roma within Nazi-occupied Europe. The gypsies manage to escape the traps set by the German government to find a base of operations in the USSR. From there, gypsies are dispatched by Moscow Center to operate as intelligence gatherers and assassins against the Nazis.These brave souls achieve a semblance of normalcy while in a Russia full of intrigue, by marrying, having children and staying on the move.Baro Xaimos focuses on the love of Tobor Mericano for Drina Mettbach and on the exploits of Tobor's sister, Nadya Hanstein, a widowed fortune teller who encounters both Hitler and Stalin in her professional role and accidentally changes the course of history.
