 Božena Plegorová, a Czech-Roman woman, was 21 when she was imprisoned in the Leti camp, along with her one-year-old son. In later years, she would write a memoir about her experiences of Leti. The children died, very often, of typhus and dysentery. There was not a day that went by that they did not carry out a few dead bodies, which they piled up by the well and covered with blankets, where they waited to be taken to the forest, to the gypsy cemetery.
