Today, we feature the testimony of Sinti-Roma Holocaust survivor, Lina Jackson, who survived the Auschwitz, Dachau, Ravensbrück, and Wolkenburg concentration camps.
USC Shoah Foundation houses a collection of 407 video interviews with Sinti and Roma survivors of persecution by the Nazis and their Allies. These testimonies were gathered in 18 countries and in 16 languages between November 1995 and November 1999.
Nazi persecution of Sinti and Roma communities during World War II took various forms. Around 100 Sinti-Roma survivors were prisoners of camps in Poland—including the “Zigeunerlager” in Auschwitz-Birkenau—as well as Austria, Germany, Ukraine, Latvia, and other countries. Thirty-eight Sinti-Roma interviewees discuss their experiences in ghettos in Ukraine especially, but also in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Many interviewees discuss the continuing persecution after the war, and the efforts of various governments to force the Sinti-Roma to establish permanent settlements and participate in state-led integration schemes.
March is Women’s History Month in the United States.
