- Simonida Selimović continues her talk series on Roma History in Europe with a harrowing account of "Surviving World War 2" from a Roma perspective.
For Roma Holocaust Remembrance Day 2020, the House of European History invited Simonida Selimović to deliver a series of talks on the story of her family through key moments of European history.
Originally planned as part of a physical tour in the museum exhibition, but cancelled due to the pandemic, Simonida speaks from home during the lockdown period, on the fate of Roma people and their significance for Europe.
Simonida was born in Serbia and immigrated as a child together with her family to Austria, where she began her career as an actor. In 2010 she and her sister founded Romano Svato, the first feminist and professional Roma theatre association, as well as activist rap group Mindj Panther Roma Armee Fraktion.

Thanks to Eva Oskarsdottir & Stefan Ecker for the video production.
As a Jew I feel that all the victims of the Holocaust should be mourned equal. Life is life a crime is a crime.
The Roma story needs to be told! All peoples have the right to exist and flourish.
Yes , but when? You have the same voice of loss and suffering as every human, every religion, every story of the Holocaust has to be told , documented, like very other story...we must remember all history, religion, of the sufferings of every human? Otherwise what's the point of a one sided history?
@@christinalock9937 well to be fair the Roma gypsies suffered almost or maybe a million deaths in the holocaust that can't really be ignored
I feel so sorry for them and even the Sinti, too. Now I know for the fact that it wasn’t just Jews those Nazi motherfu*kers targeted.
R.I.P. to the Roma and all the other victims
@user-ck9ul4ic4k What??
They still dont give roma a social status
When will they? Isn't every human who suffered, in the Holocaust going to be recognised, every human being?? Every other persons too?? It's not all about religion? It's about everyone who suffered? Is their any Jewish people who suffered as the Gypsy did going to comment, or any family members??
Very well spoken. Many Roma died but noone seems to notice or care? It is very sad. God bless you.
Yes we were always hated
@@azudemttilaIt makes me sick how we are forgotten or they don’t care enough to remember us. Some Jewish people even refuse to speak about us as well sad but true
This video needs to be seen by far more people. Thank you Simonida for sharing your story.
Thank you.. Outright One of the very best videos I've seen these last many years... Honourable. Heartbreaking. Unforgettable. [ btw : 600,000 to 1.5 million CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY was the range. ]
OPRE ROMA
🇦🇺🕉️ ✡️
I am so proud of you for breaking through that wall of silence concerning the Roma genocide by the Nazis! I pray that your people can grow strong and proud of their forebears who endured this criminality! May you know that your history; Roma history, is human history! You matter! You are important and precious!
I heard of this as a child in the 70s from my parents my father side has a blood line from Romania I was curious about this and looked into it one I was saddened and hurt about this genocide on the Roma people.
Thank you, really interesting!!!
Unforgotten
Victims
R.I.P
🌷🌷
Bravo! Full support for the lady in her work.
Opre Roma!
Very well spoken. I feel the Holocaust on the Jews is sometimes denied or not spoken about because people hate Israel or have learned antisemitic beliefs. The Porajmos is often not taught specifically but mentioned in a sideline of the Holocaust. (Though in recent years I hear Roma are often mentioned as victims during remembrances). Other genocides like those of the Armenians are even less mentioned, I fear that is a political decision in order to keep the relationships with Turkey good. Education is so important, not only to do the victims right but if we want to lower the chances of such horrific events to happen we need to educate our children again and again about these facts and the mechanisms involved.
support and love from india
We can never forget
May God Bless u
While my name appears Irish...I am Yugoslavian. Thank you for talking about our History.
😢😢
I see the comments on this channel??? The view's?? Still to this day, your religion of your race, is never recognised, as being persecuted, along side, other religions? How sad, Humans, still to this day, never recognise, suffering, in every human??
Roma story sounds same as Islamic barbarian acts to Hindus in INDIA, during Mughal era. Worst in the history of mankind. Thank you for speaking up madam 👍🏽. Love & support from India
Typical bjp andhbhakt
such a shame that people in europe haven't learned anything from WWII and still treat the discriminate against gypsy people.
I will be glad to take a tour with you at any summer night in the ghetto. I offered this to many people during last 20 years, and unfortunately no one agreed. I really have no idea why.
@rambosilek what ghetto are you talking about?
This was fair!
17 million
never forget
Sadly it is not talked about enough
Damn they found a pretty one with light colored eyes wonder when the Slavic came into that picture beautiful
A lot of Romani people look like this. Many even have black hair and green eyes with very white skin.
We come in mixed colors , cause some us are mixed, but we are gypsies, 😊
So I’ve always wanted to know my history like where did gypsys come from why do we have our ways and traditions where’s it all come from are we descendants from the Jews of the Middle East because some of our ways are Jewish but we don’t call our selfs Jewish are we from India how do we know genetic testing it’s gonna tell us anything, if hitler didn’t kill so many gypsys maybe we would know our story in America gypsys are extremely different from everywhere else we all stay in the family no one should ever become famous or finish school it’s barbaric but that keeps us spiritually clean and no one no one is allowed to marry anyone who’s not gypsy a “ghadrow or gazho” we keep to our selfs and that’s that we are Catholic now and probably for the past 200 years but no one knows anything before that and of course it’s because gypsys don’t write things down there an extremely uneducated people we are suppressed of course we know one way of life and it’s because of fear but id like to know what started that fear of the outside world the ghadray. We celebrate religious feast days but of Eastern Orthodox dates because most of the gypsys in America did come here from Yugoslavia which is Serbia now and Bulgaria and all that region but this was more in the 1800s
Same here , i keep asking my famliy but they have no idea who we are and why are we like this , i wish to know are history ,😢
Folks recognised Roma genocide aka porajmos after India tested it's nuke on 1974 and forced Europe to talk about Roma rights as per India's pm Indira Gandhi who started first Roma World Congress where Roma flag and identity were given.
All Roma's must return to their homeland - India.
Should have focused on the roma more, now we have israel and Romania GREAT….
Good thanks for hating our people need to know what happen they need to talk about it
Hate your people? Acknowledge your people, be proud. Keep their memories alive, keep your history going, let no one forget ever! That's your family history,a history to be proud of survival. As the Jewish people do, they never forget! Your past suffered the same as the Jews did. Your of exactly the same inhumane treatment as they are..
@@christinalock9937 I knw that’s what I say
Gypsy no from India u have better understanding blood from gypsy and traditional gypsy life nothing from India people!!!
The number of murdered Jews is also much higher than the Nazi number of 6 million & same with the Roma victims as well.
According to pre-war census there were 12,500,000 acknowledged Jews in Europe, after the war the number was 225,000.
Keep in mind that a large number of Jews kept their Judaism hidden back then the real number must be around 20-25 million Jews murdered. Now take that & extrapolate to the Roma most of which were not registered at all.
you sure? I think that might depend on who you count as a Jew
That is a false statistic. There were estimated 9.5 million Jews in Europe and the Nazis would have only had access to about 5 million of them
