| Title | Fighting to Remember: The Struggle for Holocaust Remembrance through Romani Activism; The German and Czech Case (1989-Present) |
| Summary | This thesis examines the influence that Roma and Sinti activist movements towards Holocaust remembrance had on the national Holocaust memory of Germany and the Czech Republic, as well as its influence on “universal” Holocaust memory. The thesis analyzes the positionality of Romani and Sinti Holocaust survivors within Holocaust discourse, and the ways in which these activist movements strived to take Roma and Sinti victims out of the category of “other” victims and highlight their narrative of struggle and resistance. Through the study of the positionality of Roma and Sinti victims in the Holocaust, I seek to understand what factors led to the erasure of the history of the Roma Holocaust and the strategies Roma and Sinti activists took to highlight the experiences of Roma and Sinti victims of the Holocaust. |
