Question

1. How were the Roma experiences during the Holocaust similar to or different from the Jewish experiences? Write at least two paragraphs comparing/contrasting the two groups’ experiences.

Answer 1

Both the Roma and the Jews had similar faith mostly in hands of the Nazis. Both people were murdered or forced into factories, which resulted in their death of horrendous working conditions. Furthermore, the Nazis saw each of these groups of individuals as unsuitable to live, as if they were dirty bugs on the planet. The Jews, on the other side, were singled out because of their relatively prosperous financial situation. To get entry to their wealth, the Nazis portrayed Jews as individuals who stole and retained every one of the monies in an economy, leaving the rest of the population in poverty.

The Roma were poor people who ended up living nomadic lifestyles for the most part. They were singled out not only because they were deemed unsuitable for German society and non-contributors, but also because they were physiologically different from Germans.

Answer 2

The Roma and the Jewish populations shared similar faith in the hands of the Nazis. Both of these groups were systematically killed, or put on to work in factories where they died because of the terrible conditions in which they were put in. Also, a similarity was that the Nazis viewed both of these groups of people as not worthy of living, as filth, pests on the planet.

The difference was that the Jewish people were a group targeted because of its good financial situation in general. The Nazis wanted to get to their wealth, so the Jews were portrayed as the people that are taking and keeping all the money in the economy, thus resulting in all the other people being poor.

The Roma were poor people, most of which still had nomadic lifestyle. They were targeted because they were not seen as suitable for the German society, people that do not contribute, but also because they were much different in appearance than the Germans.
