“Men, exhausted from sleepless night and constant hunger struggled to line up; the procession of black heads set out marching through Prešov. Like a black snake it moved from the main square to the train station. Poor people expressed their sorry for Roma, some of them even having tears in their eyes. But there were others who began shouting: Look, Gypsies are coming! They already lead the Gypsies! They will make them into rubber and soap!
Such words etched deeply into the souls of the marching Romanies.“
Jozef Fečo is a graduate of the Secondary Art School in Prešov, majoring in design and artistic wood shaping. He is primarily interested in the facial expressions of human faces, their expressive value and typical personality traits. For the State Science Library in Prešov, he created a series of 23 large-format paintings in 2015 and 2019 called Unknown Colours of Personalities.

In the morning, the door opened and a gendarme was standing there wide stance, a pickaxe in his hand. With a smirk on his face he roars: “Get up, stinkers! Get up!“ Then he twisted his face in disgust and spat: “What a stench, dogs. Everyone out, in front of the barracks. Understood, bastards?”
Men were coming out of other barracks as well. Lajko’s heart was beating furiously. Not sure what to expect he looked around. The headman of the station stood before them and began: “You are convicts under the law. You’re to do forced labor. Meaning you’re to build the railway from Prešov to Strážske. The railway is the absolute must for the German army’s victorious fight! Whoever breaks the rules of work or try to escape the camp will be sent to a court. Rest assured, we are allowed to deliver severe punishments. That’s what the Slovak law says! To violate it is tantamount to suicide.”

“Where to go? Lajko came to a decision: they must run so that they wouldn’t be caught right there. They started crossing the field, all the while keenly searching their surroundings. They ran to the tiny river. The water splashed calmly over the stones. Morning birdsong rang out from the willows and alders. They even heard a nightingale trilling. Oh, how they envied the little birds their freedom!
They managed to reach the forest, where their huts were visible on the hill."

Jenko and Šarika got into the carriage and the door slammed shut behind them. The terrible stench of sweat and excrement hit them fully. Men, women and children were crowded together like animals."

"The SS soldiers began laughing and yelling: Banditen! Partisanen! They caught everyone who managed to run from the tight circle of soldiers. While one group drove the Roma into the huts, the other group doused them with gasoline and then set the settlement to fire. Oh, horror upon horror!
Feri shouted: Why shall we die like cattle? We are people! Aren’t you afraid of God? Taking so many lives! Flames erupted from the huts. Human roars and cries rang out from them. Men pounded on the doors, on the walls, pressed to the small windows and begged for mercy. All in vain.
As the smoke thickened with the smell of burnt flesh and bones, some of the guards’ stomachs churned. They vomited. The SS commander roared: This is how I will eliminate all inferior and degraded races! We, the Germans, have lit a cleansing fire and will rid the world of filth!"

„Before she left, Estera glared at the chairman with eyes full of hatred. She grabbed Julko’s hand and walked out the door. After she left, the chairman informed his staff about the Estera’s complaint and ordered them to ignore the accusation completely.
When Esther left the building, she stroked Julko's hair with a shaking hand. Disappointed and distressed, she told him: You see, Julko, we Gypsies never claim our truth!
Estera left the building, she stroked Julko’s head with a shaking hand. Disappointed and distressed, she told him: See, Julko, we Gypsies never get justice.
And this is how it stayed since.
After liberation, the Roma never complained about their tyrants and murderers, because they knew very well that it would be in vain. To this day, no one has rehabilitated them for their suffering, injustice, wasted lives and destruction of property."
