How Much Is a Gypsy Life worth? The Roma Holocaust in Romania: Past and Present

Summary/Abstract: The history of the deportation of Romanian Roma to Transnistria during the Second World War had been concealed for a long time.The written tradition of the Roma is underrepresented because many community members have not achieved the necessary level of education to be able to write. Therefore, the attempt to recover the history of the Roma Holocaust comes mainly from oral history, a research methodology available in Romania only after 1990. The testimonies of survivors together with the official documents kept by the Romanian authorities present the horrific story of Transnistria.
