A gypsy prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. The girl was made to be a servant of the ranking SS Officer, cleaning his home while nude on her hands and knees.

The officer was delusional and felt that he was doing her a favor by employing her, and over time, he even fell in love with the girl. When he proclaimed his feelings for her, she spoke but one word to him, "monster."

Soon after, the Romany Girl was transferred by a Nazi colonel as a gift to his brother-in-law in Berlin. The SS officer that had fallen in love with her later committed suicide because of her departure.

Many years later, a Nazi lampshade was sold in the backroom of a military collectible store called the War Chest. The lampshade had been made in the war of human skin, and it carried the rose tattoo of the Romany Girl.
