After escaping from the Nazi camp system, Anton Reinhardt was captured by a Volkssturm unit and condemned by a summary tribunal. SS officer Karl Hauger murdered him on 31 March. Reinhardt had earlier sought refuge in Switzerland but was expelled. His surviving farewell letter preserves the voice of a young Sinto facing execution.
