This book contains unique research from a diverse group of researchers who are engaged in re-telling history from the perspective of Roma.

[Fiona Sinclair · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is obviously very heavy and in places hard to read, but it does a good job in exploring a severely under-researched part of history. It uses lots of details and personal stories to keep readers engaged, but never loses its academic scope or tone. The writing styles are very professional but use words that are easy to understand. I'd recommend this for anyone who wanted to do more research on the Holocaust, the Romani community, anti-Romani racism and activism efforts related to combatting it, resistance to the Holocaust, or anyone who is looking to be more interested in reading more history books.
