Dr. Petra Gelbart, a grandchild of Roma Holocaust survivors, is an ethnomusicologist and music therapist who has been researching Holocaust commemoration for two decade. In a lecture-performance program hosted by the Museum on the eve of International Romani Day (April 8), Dr. Gelbart shared songs, texts, and images created by Roma and Sinti as works of Holocaust remembrance.
In the short clip below, Dr. Gelbart sings about the Roma experience in Auschwitz. The complete program is available to watch here.
