Nazi policy toward Gypsies during the Third Reich In this first
English translation of Erika Thurner's National Socialism and
Gypsies in Austria, Gilya Gerda Schmidt makes available Thurner's
investigation of Camps Salzburg and Lackenbach, the two central
areas of Gypsy persecution in Austria. Two factors made Thurner's
research especially difficult: the Roma and Sinti have more an oral
tradition than a written one, and scholarship on the plight of the
Gypsies is sparse. Through painstaking research, Thurner has been
able to piece together fragments from Nazi documents, recollections
of victims, accounts of bystanders and other eyewitnesses, and
formal records to present her account. The result is a volume that
truly enhances our understanding of the Gypsies' experiences during
this period. The volume also focuses on broader aspects of the
Gypsies' ordeals: the ideological foundations and legal ordinances
regarding Gypsies, the discrimination and persecution in Burgenland
as a whole, the transports from Austria to Lodz and Chelmo, and the
medical experimentation. The book has also been expanded, with a
new study of Camp Salzburg, an updated bibliography, and numerous
photographs, which were not included in the German edition. The
recent upsurge of anti-Gypsy violence in Austria illustrates both
the horror of the treatment of Gypsy tribes and the timeliness of
the subject of this volume.
