Philomena Franz's memoirs, originally published in German in 1985 (Zwischen Liebe und Hass: Ein Zigeunerleben), have just been published in Spanish. The Spanish edition is edited by María Sierra, author also of the study which closes the book. The book has been beautifully translated from German by Virginia Maza and has been carefully published by Xordica Publishing House. Ceija Stojka's family has generously allowed us to use her work on the cover.
