Price blacked out on rear cover. -- An important scholarly work that e…xamines the often-overlooked experiences of the Roma during the Holocaust, as well as the ongoing struggle for recognition, justice, and rights in the post-war period. -- Based upon the international symposium "Beyond the Roma Holocaust: From Resistance to Mobilisation", held in Cracow in October 2016 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the deportation of half of all Austrian Roma and Sinti to the Nazi Ghetto of Lodz, and after the liquidation of the Zigeunerlager Litzmannstadt the subsequent murder of some 4300 of them in gas-vans at the Nazi extermination camp Kulmhof at Chelmno nad Nerem. The authors, hailing from various countries and backgrounds, reflect upon the nature and origins of the Roma genocide in the context of the contemporary situation of Roma communities in Europe. They discuss the fate of Roma during the Nazi terror in terms of their resistance and strategies of survival and thus go beyond the paradigm of victimisation. The authors debate the immediate and long-term consequences of the Holocaust for the process of the political mobilisation of the European Roma, the impact of the historical experiences of Roma communities on their contemporary identities, and the role of historical memory in forming the Roma movement. "The Porrajmos cannot be altered retroactively, but probably can serve as a useful point of reference and departure in order to look to the future of Roma in our common Europe" writes one of the co-editors, Thomas M. Buchsbaum. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction; Holocaust of Roma People: Tragedy Still to Remember / Adam Bodnar; Civil Rights Movement of German Sinti and Roma and the Struggle for Recognition / Romani Rose; -- In the Shadow of Genocide: The Post-Holocaust Situation of Roma Communities: -- Identifying the Roma and Sinti Victims Forcefully Deported in Autumn 1941 to the Zigeunerlager Litzmannstadt / Gerhard Baumgartner; Impact of the Holocaust on the Sinti Communities in Post-War Germany / Oliver von Mengersen; Rethinking Roma Holocaust: Victims or/and Victors / Elena Marushiakova & Vesselin Popov; Invisible Victims: The Cold War and Representation of the Roma Genocide in Soviet Feature Films, Teleplays and Theater Performances / Andrej Kotljarchuk; Role of the Regional Government in Poland in the Process of Commemoration of Roma Extermination / Stanislaw Sorys; Roma Holocaust in Croatia: From Marginalisation to Formal Recognition and Commemoration / Danijel Vojak; -- Roma Political Mobilisation: Memory and Identity: -- European Forgettory.
