Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust

September 20, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Founder of the field of Critical Romani Studies Ethel Brooks will chat with award-winning author Ari Joskowicz about his new book, Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust. Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust, yet their murder has not been recognized equally. The Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts, scholars, educators, curators, and politicians in the postwar years, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma and Sinti remained out of the frame. Prof. Ethel Brooks, Chair of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University, and Prof Ari Joskowicz, Chair of the Department of Jewish Studies, Vanderbilt University, will discuss Joskowicz’s exploration of the simultaneous suffering of Roma and Jews during the Holocaust, as well as the unequal yet necessary entanglement of their quests for historical justice and self-representation. Rain of Ash was awarded the 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize. Chair: Prof. Raz Segal REGISTRATION LINK:
