- Abstract
"Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust" by Ari Joskowicz is a groundbreaking book that compares the experiences of Jews and Romani people during the Nazi era and postwar period. The book explores their simultaneous suffering during the Holocaust, from racial research to confinement in ghettos and concentration camps, and ultimately facing death in extermination camps. It sheds light on the parallel experiences of the two groups and their pursuit of historical justice, recognition, and compensation for Nazi persecution. The book also examines the evolving relationship between Roma and Sinti and Jewish communities, shaped by their shared history and ongoing struggles for justice.
