Edit
Trivia It's the story of Ernst Lossa born in 1929 in Augsburg. Lossa was a member of the Yenish, who are a group of Germans who have their own dialect of that language and who travel from place to place. (Perhaps the most comparable English-speaking group are the Irish Travelers.) Lossa was a bad kid, whose father ended up in Dachau at least twice (although he was released). After committing many petty crimes, he ended up at a sanitorium called Kaufbeuren, which is still in operation today. See more »
