Abstract:
Discusses the role of remembrance of persecution and destruction in Jewish national identity, noting that Israelis have used the Holocaust to prove the necessity of a Jewish state but prefer not to overdo its commemoration. The Roma, similarly, prefer to focus on the concepts of freedom, warfare, and heroism, and they want their genocide in Europe to be remembered. They themselves, and others, often compare their genocide to that of the Jews, and it plays a significant role in their national identity. There is increasing commemoration of their genocide in various European countries.
