Annette Hauschild lived with Roma families in Italy, Kosovo, Hungary and Slovakia. According to myth, the Roma—known to English speakers as gypsies—are a nomadic people who wander the world without regard for national borders. Most Roma are in fact settled throughout Europe, though, and suffer persecution as minorities with no home country of their own. In this photo, Hauschild captured two gypsy children, Alex and Enikó, playing at a window in Hungary in 2012.

Would love to know where/how I can obtain a copy of "On Borders." It doesn't seem to be currently available in American or German retail outlets.
