""Charting how both Jewish and Romani families dealt with Nazi persecution, this volume offers a long-overdue and innovative attempt to integrate the histories of these two racially persecuted groups."" -- Ari Joskowicz * author of The Modernity of Others: Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France * ""Charting how both Jewish and Romani families dealt with Nazi persecution, this volume offers a long-overdue and innovative attempt to integrate the histories of these two racially persecuted groups."" -- Ari Joskowicz * author of The Modernity of Others: Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France * In an innovatively comparative and integrated framework, the diverse contributions to this groundbreaking volume examine the variety of intimate ties that Jews and Roma built and broke in their efforts to survive the onslaught of the Holocaust. This outstanding book should top the reading list of anyone interested in the effects of genocide on the most fundamental of human relationships. -- Benjamin Frommer * co-editor of Intermarriage from Central Europe to Central Asia: Mixed Families in the Age of Extreme *
Charting how both Jewish and Romani families dealt with Nazi persecution, this volume offers a long-overdue and innovative attempt to integrate the histories of these two racially persecuted groups.
