Essay from the year 2007 in the subject History Europe - Germany -
National Socialism, World War II, grade: 1, University of
Nottingham, 30 entries in the bibliography, language: English,
abstract: The 20th century is sometimes called the "centrury of
genocide." Never before have people been killing each other on such
a scale, with so sophisticated methods and techniques, for so many
reasons and seemingly without any scrupules or mercy. Untold masses
of humans fell victims to these massacres. From South West Africa
and Armenia to Cambodia and Rwanda, there were a number of
genocides. A number of genocides, but just one Holocaust. Or, was
there just one? Most of the scholarly attention devoted to the
subject of Holocaust has, not surprisingly, been focused on the
Jewish experience during the Nazi period. The study of the Gypsy
experience during the same period has been largely underrepresented
in the historiography discussions. Therefore, in this paper I will
concentrate on the Porrajmos. The main aim of this work is to find
out if and eventually to what extent the Shoah and the Porrajmos
are comparable. In the first half I deal with the persecution of
the Gypsies solely. I describe the main characteristics of the
treatment of the Gypsies by the Nazis as well as mention the main
laws and decrees that dealt with the issue. In the second part of
this paper my own believes become much more pronounced. I discuss
and compare the Nazi treatment of Jews and Gypsies; touch upon the
most debated and controversial issues and above all analyze the
main differences in the treatment of these two groups. Based on the
facts from the first chapter and deriving from the discussion in
the second chapter I shall then try to draw conclusions concerning
Yehuda Bauer's thesis that "It does not do any service to the cause
of the Romani people to mix them up in the same analytical
framework with the Jews by defining the Holocaust as pertaining to
both Gypsies and Jews."
