Under fascist dictatorship of Ion Antonescu, in 1941 Romania joined the German-led invasion of the Soviet Union. Antonescu was striving to build an ethnically homogeneous country without minorities. The “solution” was so called “unilateral transfer”. More than 25.000 Roma, most of them children and poor people, were deported to the territory of Transnistria, in that time under Romanian occupation. At least 11.000 died in Transnistria of hunger, cold and diseases. In addition tremendous loss of lives, those who survived have lost everything – all their possessions and properties. The mental and emotional trauma, feeling of shame and fear, as well as economic consequences are strongly present even today. Despite all, could Roma unite as a strong nation with own history, values and role models?
