Abstract
"He wants to live like a man. He wants a job and is willing to work hard." In May 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Josef R., a Roma whose wife, three children and many more relatives perished in the concentration camps, returned to his home in a small village in South Bohemia.
He tried to return to his previous life: to work to become a member of the almost exclusively Czech rural community. But soon, he received an eviction ruling from his municipality - just as he did before the war.
