Roth, W: Movement

As William Roth was taking his first steps, members of his family were being murdered in Nazi concentration camps. At age four, he began to manifest the symptoms of dystonia, a neurological disease characterized by severe movement disorders. And at age 47, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a cancer that would prove as invasive as his genetic disease and as dreadful as his social persecution.
