Description

The genocide of the Roma and Sinti during World War II  remained for a long time almost absent from historical research and public awareness. This publication partially fills that gap, offering an in-depth, source-based study of one of the less known chapters of twentieth-century history.

The book explores the origins of the genocide of the Roma and Sinti: from centuries of marginalization, through the racist ideology and policies of Nazi Germany, to deportations, concentration camps, and mass extermination. Particular attention is devoted to the Zigeunerlager in KL Auschwitz II-Birkenau – the place where the tragic fate of thousands of Roma families reached its final stage. Based on the latest research and archival documents, the authors restore a voice to the victims and reveal the mechanisms of extermination, as well as the everyday realities of life in the camp and the dramatic liquidation of the Roma sector on August 2, 1944.

The publication also has a contemporary dimension, addressing the issues of memory, commemoration, and Roma identity after the war. It presents initiatives undertaken by the Roma community and by historical institutions in Poland and across Europe, which testify to the ongoing struggle for recognition of this tragedy and for restoring its rightful place in collective memory.
