Edmonton: Jews, Roma, and the Holocaust
Jews, Roma, and the Holocaust: the 2025 Annual Toby & Saul Reichert Lecture
From concentration camps to the killing sites of mobile shooting squads, Jews and Roma experienced Nazi persecution in close proximity to each other. Yet, after the war, the world recognized the injustices both groups faced differently. While Jewish persecution histories became memorialized in museums, monuments, and college course the international community largely ignored the Roma genocide. How should we tell the story of the Holocaust in light of this unequal treatment? How have relations between Jews and Roma—from the 1930s to the present—influenced the way we think about Nazi racial persecution? How can we write histories of entangled persecution?
