Sinti and Roma in the Ravensbrück concentration camp

Contribution of the Education Forum against Antigypsyism and the Ravensbrück Memorial

With our video „Sinti and Roma in the Ravensbrück concentration camp“ we want to commemorate and honor Sinti and Roma and all other victims of National Socialism. The video provides information about the Sinti and Roma-prisoners of Ravensbrück concentration camp from different perspectives. Carman Marschall Strauss, staff member of the Educational Forum against Antigypsyism, gives testament of the persecution of her family during the Nazi-era. Dr. Andrea Genest, Director of the Ravensbrück Memorial Museum gives on overview, while Dr. Sabine Arend, Head of the Repository of the Memorial Museum, specifically talks about one object in the Memorials collection connected to Sinti and Roma in the camp. Janka Csepregi commemorates Magdolna Hodosi, a hungarian Romni, who was deported to Ravensbrück, whose recollections of the imprisonment at the Ravensbrück camp Janka Csepregi translated to German for the first time.
