The Nazi Genocide of the Roma : Reassessment and Commemoration Hardback
Edited by Anton Weiss-Wendt
Part of the War and Genocide series
Hardback
Description
Using the framework of genocide, this volume analyzes the patterns of persecution of the Roma in Nazi-dominated Europe.
Detailed case studies of France, Austria, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, and Russia generate a critical mass of evidence that indicates criminal intent on the part of the Nazi regime to destroy the Roma as a distinct group.
Other chapters examine the failure of the West German State to deliver justice, the Romani collective memory of the genocide, and the current political and historical debates.
As this revealing volume shows, however inconsistent or geographically limited, over time, the mass murder acquired a systematic character and came to include ever larger segments of the Romani population regardless of the social status of individual members of the community.
