ARCHIVAL MATERIALS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY 165 I. INTRODUCTION In one of the fi rst substantial studies devoted to genocide against the Roma,1 journalist and writer Christian Bernadac presents testimonies of two female concentration camp survivors, because, as he says, Collecting certain stories and papers on deportation, I reached the conclusion that the Roma were avoided by all representatives of de- ported peoples, of which there were around thirty-two or thirty-five. As an illustration, it is sufficient to refer to some of the rare sentences mentioning the Roma in the survivors’ testimonies. “Gypsy women, dirty thieves, utter cowards, crybabies full of vermin...”, “A herd of bo- hemians, disgustingly dirty, obtuse, thieves...”, “One tall Gypsy, thief and liar: just like others of his race, all he needed was one cue by an SS member to become a killer...”.2 The author, in the paragraphs that follow, admits to having felt very disappointed when he noticed that even writers, university professors and priests from different countries share the same thoughts, quot- ing several of their statements from the post-war period. Also, it was frightening to discover that the massacre of Roma was being ignored. “How is it possible to forget all those victims, to delete them from memory?”, he asks himself and others.3 The answer is, of course, not simple, but nonetheless, it should be acknowledged that, from that moment onwards, especially in recent 1 Christian Bernadac, L’holocauste oublié: les massacre des tsiganes, Éditions France-Empire, Pasir, 1979. In the present text, the translation into Serbo-Croa- tian has been used: Zaboravljeni holokaust. Pokolj Cigana, (translated from French by Selma OruË), Globus, Zagreb, 1981 2 Ibid, p. 18 3 Ibid, p. 19 INTRODUCTION │ 1 years, numerous efforts have been made so as to wrest, at last, the gen- ocide against the Roma in World War II from the abyss of mass am- nesia. Essential papers pertaining to this matter which represent the fi rst signifi cant publication on the suffering of the Roma, appeared in Great Britain as long ago as 1972, entitled The destiny of Europe’s Gypsies,4 as well as the book Rassenutopie und Genozid. Die nationalso- zialistische „Lösung der Zigeunerfrage“5, considered by one of the most infl uential experts on the subject of Roma in World War II, Gilad Mar- galit, to be the most signifi cant work on genocide against the Roma.6 The text that lies before the reader should be interpreted in the spirit of a “battle against forgetting”. Writing about unfamiliar topics, opening up new research studies and asking new questions in historiography is always a diffi cult task. The historian who does not have literature at his/her disposal is compelled to pore over material kept in archives, without any specifi c indication as to where to direct one’s attention, where to seek written documents on the topic s/he is addressing or even whether or not such documents actual- ly exist. It’s a delicate task, especially when it comes to such a large and problematic issue as genocide against the Roma in World War II. Accessing archival resources without prior knowledge brings a risk that the endeavor might be too great, and results too small; especially bearing in mind that the rare mentions of suffering of the Roma in ex- isting scientifi c papers always underscore the lack of sources for suita- ble treatment of the topic. Nevertheless, hope for success and the moral obligation to invest the greatest extent of commitment in the work must ultimately lead to 4 Donald Kenrick and Grattan Puxon, The destiny of Europe’s Gypsies, Heinemann, London, 1972 5 Michael Zimmermann, Rassenutopie und Genozid.

For an overview of the most important works on genocide against the Roma, see the bibliography at the end of the text. 2 │ THE SUFFERING OF THE ROMA IN SERBIA DURING THE HOLOCAUST certain answers to the myriad of questions the historian asks him/her- self before and during research. It is never possible to fi nd an answer for each question, but this is precisely where the complexity of histor- ical science lies; truth will never be found in documents alone, a topic will never be exhausted, it will never be possible to isolate one seg- ment of history and bind it within the limits of dogmatic statements. Topics are opened up, nurtured and developed, generating a life of their own and rousing interest among others, not only those within the scientifi c fi eld, but also within the fi elds of morality, politics and general understanding. Holocaust, Roma holocaust, Porajmos?; unlike other mass extermina- tions in the 20th century, what happened to the Roma in Europe during World War II has still not been defi ned distinctively with one specifi c term. This fact is suffi cient to illustrate the very vague picture that we have to today regarding the mass, systematic killing of the Roma. In order to single out the unique National Socialist terror against Jews from the general legal category of genocide, during the nineteen fi fties, the word Holocaust became more frequent. It was created by Elie Wiesel, a Jewish survivor. Shortly, however, the same term start- ed being coined by various scientists so as to defi ne the extermination of other groups by the Nazis. The expression Holocaust, thus, expand- ed to include mass killing of “the racially inferior” (Roma), political and ideological opponents (primarily communists), religious enemies (Jehovah’s Witnesses) and the undesirable (the disabled, homosexu- als). In the Serbian language, this term is written in lower case letters, while capitalization began recently so as to single out the Holocaust against Jews from holocaust against other groups. Due to existing risk from banalization of terror against Jews, in western countries (but not in the Anglo-Saxon world) the term Shoah is now being used more and more frequently. It was in mid nineteen-nineties that the extermination of the Roma was named for the fi rst time. The Roma linguist and activist Ian Han- cock introduced the word Porajmos (destruction) so as to signify the INTRODUCTION │ 3 National Socialist policy of extermination of the Roma and the Sinti in World War II. From then on, the term gained presence, not only in scientifi c, but also in political language, even though it cannot yet be considered fully accepted. Some people, for instance the anthropolo- gist Michael Stewart, decisively oppose the term because of the mean- ing it has among the Roma in Eastern Europe.7 In Serbia, the term Porajmos is not used at all, just mentioned occasionally. The fact that extermination of the Roma and the Sinti can be de- fi ned as genocide in the legal sense, but also as holocaust and ultimate- ly as Porajmos, has led, in the symbolic sense, to a situation whereby on the European and Global level there is still no unique manner of usage for these terms. This becomes evident not only in scientifi c pa- pers, but in the language of State and international institutions: for instance, in September 2012, European MPs proposed that an Inter- national Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Holocaust against the Roma be established, while at the International Holocaust Remem- brance Alliance (IHRA, former ITF) the expression “genocide against the Roma” is in use.

  • Student Movements: 1968, 1981 and 1997 the Impact Of
    Student Movements: 1968, 1981 and 1997 The impact of students in mobilizing society to chant for the Republic of Kosovo Atdhe Hetemi Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of East European Languages and Cultures Supervisor Prof. dr. Rozita Dimova Department of East European Languages and Cultures Dean Prof. dr. Gita Deneckere Rector Prof. dr. Rik Van de Walle October 2019 i English Summary This dissertation examines the motives and central visions of three student demonstrations, each taking place within different historical and political contexts and each organized by a different generation of Kosovo Albanian students. The years 1968, 1981 and 1997 witnessed a proliferation of student mobilizations as collective responses demanding more national rights for Albanians in Kosovo. I argue that the students' main vision in all three movements was the political independence of Kosovo. Given the complexity of the students' goal, my analysis focuses on the influence and reactions of domestic and foreign powers vis-à-vis the University of Prishtina (hereafter UP), the students and their movements. Fueled by their desire for freedom from Serbian hegemony, the students played a central role in "preserving" and passing from one generation to the next the vision of "Republic" status for Kosovo. Kosova Republikë or the Republic of Kosovo (hereafter RK) status was a demand of all three student demonstrations, but the students' impact on state creation has generally been underestimated by politicians and public figures. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to unearth the various and hitherto unknown or hidden roles of higher education – then the UP – and its students in shaping Kosovo's recent history.

  • Croatia and “Ethnic Cleansing”
    Croatia and “Ethnic Cleansing” Croatia and “Ethnic Cleansing” Akiko Shimizu Introduction There is a computer set up in the permanent Holocaust exhibition in London’s Imperial War Museum, in which, along with Jews, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and the mentally disabled, “hundreds of thousands” of Serbian residents of the “Independent State of Croatia” (NDH) are listed as victims of genocide. However, in the permanent exhibition dealing with genocide, the massacre of the Serbs earns no mention. It appears that the museum accepts the massacres as fact, but their displays are seemingly set up so as to attract little attention. As this style of exhibition demonstrates, while there are not many who do not know of Auschwitz, there are very few who know of “Jasenovac”. “Jasenovac” is the name for a system of incarceration chambers and concentration camps which existed in the “Independent State of Croatia”. After World War II, it was estimated that between 600,000 and 700,000 people died in this, the largest of the incarceration facilities in Croatia. In the 1990s too, the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, a major German daily newspaper, gave an estimate of 500,000, while the Holocaust Studies Centre in Washington’s Holocaust Memorial Museum estimates that “at least 250,000” Serbians were killed by the “Croatian authorities” between 1941 and 1943. 1) However, the Republic of Croatia, which gained its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, has not acknowledged this massacre. In April 1991 (the fiftieth anniversary of Germany’s invasion of Yugoslavia), Tudjman, who became later the first President of Croatia, declared the number of victims to be 30,000.

    MARTIN MOLL Vom österreichischen Gendarmerie-Offizier zum Höheren SS- und Polizeiführer Serbien, 1942-1944 August Meyszner: Stationen einer Karriere Einleitung Seit den 1990er Jahren beschäftigt sich die sogenannte neuere Täterfor- schung mit jenen Männern (und wenigen Frauen), die als direkte oder indi- rekte Täter, mithin als Planer und/oder Ausführende in die nationalsozialis- tischen Mordaktionen gegen Juden, Slawen, Sinti und Roma sowie sonstige als rassische oder politische Gegner apostrophierte Gruppen involviert wa- ren.1 Gefragt wird hierbei nach den sozialen, generationellen, konfessio- nellen, bildungs- und herkunftsmäßigen sowie nicht zuletzt ideologischen Prägungen der Tätergruppen. Dabei fällt zugleich eine Konzentration des Forschungsinteresses auf die die eigentlichen Taten ausführenden Appara- te und deren Personal, insbesondere aus dem weit gespannten SS-Komplex, auf. Als Resultat dieser intensiven Forschungen sind zahlreiche Einzel- und Gruppenbiographien der wie auch immer definierten Täter erschienen, da- neben auch diverse Studien, die sich mit den situativen Rahmenbedingun- gen des Handelns der Täter vor Ort beschäftigen, meist im deutsch besetzten Ost- und Südosteuropa.2 Diese zuletzt intensiv betriebene Forschung hat bisher einen Mann aus dem engsten Kreis der Täter nicht einbezogen, der dies zweifellos verdient hätte, und sei es nur wegen seiner Funktion als Höherer SS- und Polizeifüh- rer (HSSPF) für das deutsch besetzte (Rumpf-) Serbien von Januar 1942 bis 1 Vgl. etwa, mit einleitenden methodischen Überlegungen, GERHARD PAUL (Hrsg.), Die Täter der Shoah.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.
