Abstract

[Over the last few decades, Holocaust history and literature have documented that the Nazi government of Germany decimated half a million Romani people for the origin of their race. While scholars are discovering the facts and exposing the details of this ghastly period in Romani history, survivors are imparting their lamentable ordeals with the intention that “no individual, should ever have to suffer what … [they] suffered” (Winter 123). As much as the scholarship is helpful in uncovering the degree of the inconceivable cruelties practiced on the Roma by Nazi scientists and officials, these studies are less effective than the chronicles of the survivors for creating in the human con-science the obligation to discover the true motive for the unparalleled inhumanity executed by the Nazi government on the Romani people.1]
