Between 250,000 and 500,000 Roma were brutally killed during the Second World War Genocide (Holocaust Encyclopedia, 2020)<\/i>. This act of torturing and murdering Roma is also known as ‘Samudaripen<\/i>’ in the Romani language. Thus, 2nd<\/sup> of August (International Roma Genocide Remembrance Day) and 16th<\/sup> of May (Romani Resistance Day) are dates when Roma remember the ‘Samudaripen<\/i>’. Although recognized by various European states, the Romani Genocide remains often a forgotten act when the World and Europe remember the Second World War Genocide. Recognition and remembrance of the dark European history is necessary to prevent such mass massacres being repeated; therefore, I will briefly elaborate on the path which led to the inhuman extermination of Roma during World War Two<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By indicating the place of Roma during the nation-building process in Europe, I aim to explain the reasons why Roma were viewed by the Nazis as population which should be “cleaned from the face of the earth<\/i>”<\/b>. I chose to explain the Nazi idea of killing people who did not fit their hegemonic nations because of the danger that such ideas might be awakened in contemporary<\/span> Europe, when the Extreme Right-Wing parties expand more and more. Additionally, the position of Roma as “the others<\/i>” did not change much, which means that remembering the traumatic Romani history is key for bringing awareness among the non-Roma power holders.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To begin, I am bringing the metaphor of the “house<\/i>” <\/b>to illustrate the nation-building process in Europe in the twentieth century. Let’s imagine the nation-state as a “house<\/i>” (“shelter<\/i>” after the “storm<\/i>”). The “storm<\/i>” (instability and chaos brought by the wars) made Europeans shelter themselves. Some peoples had land and more resources for building their “houses<\/i>” than others. Some peoples were more homogenic, so building “houses<\/i>” was easier for them than for other more diverse groups. All “houses” had to be built fast (being “homeless<\/i>” in a “storm<\/i>” is dangerous), so hegemony was unavoidable. The more one group was uniformed, the faster the “house” would be built.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let’s locate the place of Roma during the construction of the “houses<\/i>”<\/b>. Roma were living on the territories where the “houses<\/i>” were being built. They did not take part in<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> deciding what the “houses<\/i>” would look like, and what the domestic rules would be. Additionally, not all the “houses<\/i>” were open to Roma for cohabitation. While some “households<\/i>” let the Roma live with them (but only outside, in the “gardens<\/i>”), others let them live with them (but only by the rules that Roma never agreed on).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why is the place of Roma in the nation-building process in Europe in the 20<\/span><\/span><\/b>th <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>century important? <\/span><\/span><\/b>Let me illustrate my answer using Hannah Arendt’s ‘Origin of Totalitarianism<\/i>’ and the concept of statelessness<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Namely, Arendt examines the nation-building <\/i>process in the twentieth century and its link with Imperialism <\/i>and Totalitarianism<\/i>. She introduces the concept of stateless people <\/i>which might indicate the inferior position of Roma in the European empires and later in the nation-states<\/b>. That relation culminated with the Genocide during World War Two<\/b>. Stateless <\/i>were the peoples who did not fit the nation. Arendt calls them “peoples without history<\/i>”. The nations consisted of people who had common history. The trajectory imperialism-nationalism- totalitarianism was fatal for Roma. In all three stages of development of the European states, Roma were constantly on the margins, perceived as non-deserving <\/i>to belong in the hegemonic nations which later swallowed the states and their institutions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The totalitarian movements were greatly influenced by the hegemonic understanding of the nation, a result of the need for fast and secure “shelter after the storm<\/i>”. In that totalitarian stage, Roma were direct victims. Roma, not fitting the hegemonic image of the nations, were destined to two potential scenarios: <\/b>to be forcefully assimilated in the nations, or, in the extreme culmination, to be “cleaned from the face of the earth<\/i>”. Due to the fact that it was hard for Roma to fit the image of the hegemonic nations (because of their cultural diversity, travelling past, and mobility) assimilation <\/i>was the harder option; therefore, the Nazi regimes chose the easier option<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> – complete elimination<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To sum up, the place of Roma in the transformation of Imperialism to Nationalism, and Nationalism to Totalitarianism, made them a stateless (“homeless<\/i>”) population which was hard to be assimilated in the hegemonically built nation-states (“shelters after the storm<\/i>”). This position of Roma (non-deserving and non-belonging) in the rapidly built hegemonic nation-states caused the<\/span> realization<\/span> of the Nazi plan to eliminate everybody who did not fit the image of their nation<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For the end I would send one message:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Assimilating or eliminating people who do not fit the hegemonic images of the nations are fatal and inhuman solutions. Let us think about a third option: dehegemonizing and transforming the nation-states into multicultural countries, and instead of assimilation and elimination let us think about healthy integration!<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
