Description of the content

Years ago a day centre and a dormitory building was constructed for the aged in the Gypsy quarter of a small village in Szabolcs county. It was unique in being built by Gypsies for Gypsies. In the old folks’ home it is possible to get to know the everyday life of the old residents of the village. Despite “civilization” loosening the bonds of the extended family, they continue to live together with their loved ones, those who have been left on their own and those who have found a new community in the home.
