Sette coppie di gitani “ariani” furono sottoposti a esperimenti atroci dal medico SS mentre una pittrice ebrea era costretta a ritrarli. Ora le loro storie riaffiorano dagli archivi
L’occhio era molto importa
nte, spiegò il dottor Mengele: lavorando con bisturi e solventi sull’iride, si poteva trasformare in grigia o in azzurra, da nerastra che era. Infatti quelli erano zingari «buoni». I loro avi non erano forse partiti dall’India del Medioevo, dove già si venerava la svastica? E nei loro 60 dialetti non c’era ancora un po’ di sanscrito, di punjabi e bangali? Dunque erano indoeuropei: pochissimi, quasi sempre «asociali»; ma ariani. E come gli ariani veri, come Mengele o Hitler, non potevano avere occhi neri, ma azzurri: nei laboratori di Auschwitz, iniziarono così gli esperimenti. «Tutti lo sapevano. E me li ricordo bene, i gitani "puri"», racconta la pittrice ebrea Dina Gottliebova, «perché Mengele mi obbligava a ritrarli, mentre lui misurava i crani. Gli altri, i "misti", dopo un po’ che arrivavano non li vedevamo più». Furono 20.078 gli zingari died at Auschwitz, about 23 000 inmates. And about half a million across Europe, maybe 90% of the total, was called Porraimos in gypsy 'big eater', the extermination of the Roma, Sinti, the "Manush" (from German "mensch," "men" so they called them in Germany). Here they are, their portraits painted by Dina, as he has shown America the PBS public television, in 57-minute documentary titled Porraimos: the gypsies of Europe in the 'Holocaust. Angry or sad faces, the music of gypsy violins, and bodies that look to be black and white photos or videos taken by 'cineama-bulls "of the SS. And children playing, not knowing. In August 1944, at Auschwitz, those of the "People of the Wind" were almost all dead. In their area were 7 pairs of twins, chosen by Mengele for studies of 'eugenics', along with another doctor and two "nurses". And Dina Gottliebova: "As a child, in rural Czechoslovakia, the gypsies had seen them go in the caravan, I was fascinated. We found there to Auschwitz. I painted the huts of their children with scenes of meadows and mountains, or with figures of Snow White. " Even children were dying, as other survivors told the cameras. One woman describes the prisoners forced to jump into a pond and small gypsies who could not swim left to themselves by the guards, and parents forced to take no action. Kids they could tap the bank would then collect firewood to burn the bodies of others wet. "My mother," said another witness, "me and my twin sister gave birth without any problems. But then she was sterilized and we were taken away, by geneticists that they wanted to study. The last time I saw my sister, was one of those clinics. " These testimonies have overlapping with those of the minutes of Nuremberg, disseminated on the Internet by Harvard University. Were approximately 30 000 Gypsies cataloged by scholars who went to camp in Nazi concentration camps in search of the "gypsy good." Himmler, the head chief of the SS, he was certain: "The pure gypsies should be placed in special reserves, for their alleged origine ariana». Gli altri furono inghiottiti dalla storia. Che ancor oggi discute sulla loro sorte: per alcuni studiosi la persecuzione nazista fu motivata da discriminazioni sociali, culturali ed economiche, più che da vero odio di razza. Per altri, il fattore razzista prevalse. Scrive Michael Burleigh nella sua Storia del Terzo Reich: «Nel 1930, alcuni residenti a Francoforte sul Meno si lamentarono degli "zingari" che si trovavano fra loro. Sporcavano la zona con rifiuti organici, disturbavano con zuffe. Quando le autorità cittadine lasciarono che il problema si trascinasse, fu il Partito nazista a occuparsi della situazione». Chiunque abbia ragione, trionfò il Porraimos, il grande divoratore. «Questa gente discende dai paria indiani», said Robert Ritter, director of racial hygiene. "They are prone to crime." For Adolf Eichmann, the accountant of the Holocaust, just add "four cars to trains with the Jews," and everything would be solved. "The fascists hunted wild game such as the gypsies," says Anatoly Kuznetsov recounting the massacre of Babi Yar, where 29 to 30 September 1941, together with 33,371 Jews, including whole tribes were exterminated gypsies. In the winter of '42, from Simferopol in the Crimea, the commander of the Special Einsatzgruppe D reported to Berlin that "Here the issue is resolved 'last statement:" Justice 810 elements. " L 'throughout April 8 '42 Crimea was declared "free of Jews and Gypsies 'and' the population did not show any particular anxiety that the situation of Gypsies-ano had to share the fate of the Jews." Moreover, even Heinrich Lohse, the Reich Commissioner for the Baltic, had been clear in its "confidential order of December 24, 1941" to the SS: "The gypsies who roam the country are a double danger. They may have diseases, typhoid. Are unreliable, we can not give them a useful job. And damage due to hostile Germanic disseminating news. Order so that they are treated in the same manner of the Jews. "
