Abstract

"In Serbian popular culture, the figure of the Gypsy has always been invested with the mysterious power to unveil the mendacious undertones in the program of civilisation. Wherever he appears - in jokes, songs, tales, literature or movies - the civilised order is unmasked. This motif can be seen most dramatically in bars and taverns, where Gypsy musicians lead their Serbian customers in veritable celebrations of wildness." "The author, who spent one and a half years in Serbia investigating these wild meetings relates the unreason of the behaviour in these bars to the atrocities committed during the war which broke out during his stay."--Jacket.

Abstract

Originally published in German, Erika Thurner's National Socialism and Gypsies in Austria is the ground-breaking study of Nazi policy toward Gypsies during the Third Reich. As noted in the foreword, although Jews were the major target of the Nazis, others were also marked for extermination. Indeed, of the groups targeted by the Nazis, only Jews and Gypsies were killed indiscriminately and tribally, that is, by the gassing of entire family groups of men, women, and children. Of the eleven thousand Gypsies living in Austria at the start of the war, only three thousand survived Nazi persecution. In the first English translation of this important work, Gilya Gerda Schmidt makes available Thurner's investigation of Camps Salzburg and Lackenbach, the two central areas of Gypsy persecution in Austria. This English translation 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.
