Tajsa.eu: Settela - Recognition of the Genocide (Netherlands 1 - English)
Channel: Misko Stanisic
Date: 2018-11-04

Almost 50 years since the glance of the unknown girl in white head scarf who fearfully staring out of the wagon was filmed in Westerbork transit camp, a Dutch journalist managed to identify her as Sinti girl Settela Steinbach. This will be a turning point for the Dutch Sinti and Roma community to finally gain official recognition as victims of Nazi persecution and genocide. There is continuity in persecution of Sinti and Roma – current exclusion and discrimination is linked to the past. Roma were and have always been a substantial part of European cultures and societies.What was life like for Sinti and Roma in the Netherlands before World War II? Can collective trauma in the past be used for self-empowering and boosting of the new strong group identity today?
