Jan Bystřický (1934). The photograph shows his sisters Antonie and Božena Bystřická in the folk costume of the Haná region in the early 1930s. The family was saved from persecution thanks to a warning from a gendarme. Gendarmes from Vyškov as well as a criminal inspector in Brno helped achieve their release from the Provincial Labour Enforcement Camp, where they were interned. Photograph from the collection of the Museum of Romani Culture.
