Ep. 14- The Romani Experience during the Holocaust with Ari Joskowicz

Send us Fan Mail

Some historians have argued that the experience of Romani people during the Holocaust most closely approximated that of the Jews in terms of policy and execution.  Of course, there were also important differences.  But, Jews and Romani also went through the Holocaust together.  In this, really fascinating discussion, I talked with Ari Joskowicz about the Nazi genocide of Romani, their interactions with Jews, and the difficult challenge of preserving these histories.

Ari Joskowciz is an associate professor of history at Vanderbilt University.
