Název v původním jazyce

"Not being others" and "forgetting the Auschwitz trauma": Two strategies in the post-war history of a Czech-Moravian Romani family

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter in the book reconstructs the story of a Czech-Moravian Romani family of Holocaust survivors, who before the Second World War were living in Bořitov, a village about 30 kilometres north of the second largest Czech city, Brno. Nearly all Roma and Sinti living in the Czech Lands before the Second World War perished during the Nazi occupation. Very little has been written about the experiences of the survivors from the perspective of family history. In common with many Romani survivors, the main strategy of this family had been to protect the children born after the Second World War by remaining silent about their Holocaust experience. Yet the story of this particular family also illuminates the painful ways in which survivors were obliged to confront the legacies of persecution in the post-war years, including the long-term effects of Nazi medical experiments on women. Drawing on oral history, archival research and published testimonies, my aim in the chapter is two-fold: to reflect on how the legacies of the Romani genocide shape memories within Romani families in socialist and post-socialist societies in Central Europe, and to explore the methodological dilemmas and difficulties that confront researchers seeking to record and narrate these intimate family histories.
