Hugo Höllenreiner

Hugo Adolf Höllenreiner (15 September 1933 – 10 June 2015) was a Sinti survivor of the Porajmos during the Nazi dictatorship.

Still he was deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz on 16 March 1943,[3] where Josef Mengele tortured him and his brother with cruel pseudomedical experiments.

Hugo Höllenreiner has received numerous awards and honors for his commitment as a contemporary witness of the National Socialist tyranny: In numerous interviews with the author Anja Tuckermann, Höllenreiner has talked about his fate during the Nazi era.

Tuckermann received the German Youth literature prize for her book "Denk nicht, wir bleiben hier!"

Adrian Coriolan Caspar did some interviews with Höllenreiner in 2008, which he implemented musically with his first orchestral work Symphonia Romani - Bari Duk, an oratorium for solo bass, mixed choir and orchestra.
