The Memoirs of Ceija Stojka, Child Survivor of the Romani Holocaust
"Is this the whole world?" This question begins the first of three memoirs by Austrian Romani writer, visual artist, musician, and activist Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), told from her perspective as a child interned in three Nazi concentration camps from age nine to fifteen. Written by a child survivor much later in life, the memoirs offer insights into the nexus of narrative and extreme trauma, expressing the full spectrum of human emotions: fear and sorrow at losing loved ones; joy and relief when reconnecting with family and friends; desire to preserve some memories while attempting to erase others; horror at acts of genocide, and hope arising from dreams of survival.In addition to annotated ...

Ceija Stojka (1933-2013)
Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), a member of the Lovara community (from the Hungarian Lo = horse, horse traders), a Roma group that settled in Austria, was deported to Auschwitz with a large portion of her family at ten years old. Her father had previously been gassed in the 'euthanasia' facility at Hartheim. Ceija Stojka survived not only the extermination camp at Auschwitz, but also the concentration camps at Ravensbrück and Bergen Belsen, from which she was freed by the British army on 15 April 1945. Together with her brother Karl Stojka, she was the first to break the victims' silence in Austria in the 1980s, and continued to discuss her treatment as a Roma openly from then on. At the end of t...
Ceija Stojka
L'exposition de La maison rouge réunit pour la première fois en France plus de cent cinquante oeuvres de l'artiste rom Ceija Stojka, née en Autriche en 1933. Déportée à l'âge de dix ans, elle survit à trois camps de concentration, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Ravensbrück et Bergen-Belsen. C'est à cinquante-cinq ans, qu'elle rompt le silence et se lance dans un fantastique travail de mémoire, lequel donne naissance à plusieurs récits et à plus d'un millier d'oeuvres, encres, gouaches et acryliques sur toile ou papier, alors qu'elle est autodidacte. Elle devient ainsi la première femme rom rescapée des camps de la mort à témoigner de son expérience concentrationnaire, contre l'oubli ...
Ceija Stojka. The Paper is Patient
The work of Ceija Stojka (1933-2013) is considered today an invaluable testimony on the deportation and the holocaust of the Romani people during the Second World War. For the very first time, this publication considers equal to her graphic work the notes she wrote on the back of her drawings and paintings. Stojka?s particular use of language, phonetically adapted from her knowledge of German, is here transcribed and translated into English, while giving access to both sides of her works.00Exhibition: Malmö Konsthall, Sweden (30.01-23.05.2021).
Between Past and Future
This collection of papers discusses the experience of the Roma in eastern and central Europe since the collapse of Communism.
Wir leben im Verborgenen
Als 1988 der erste Teil von Ceija Stojkas Erinnerungen erschien, läuteten das Buch und die charismatische Präsenz der Autorin eine neue Ära in der Geschichte der Roma und Sinti ein, deren Leiden - nicht nur - im Nationalsozialismus nicht länger hinter der Fassade einer künstlichen Romantik vertuscht werden konnten. Als Erste wagte sich Ceija Stojka aus dem Verborgenen hervor und tat nichts weiter als erzählen - mit großer Wirkung, etwa der Anerkennung der Roma und Sinti als österreichische Volksgruppe. Ceija Stojkas Erinnerungen aus den beiden Büchern "Wir leben im Verborgenen" und "Reisende auf dieser Welt" sind nun hier erstmals zusammengefasst und erzählen von der Kindheit in der Zeit der Pferdewagen, von der Verfolgung und dem Überleben in den Konzentrationslagern und von den Versuchen, in der Nachkriegswelt Fuß zu fassen, die neuerlich keinen Platz für Roma und Sinti vorgesehen hatte. Stojkas Erinnerungen werden durch Gespräche mit Karin Berger ergänzt, die auch in einem berührenden Essay aus der Welt Ceija -Stojkas nach ihrem Schritt ins Rampenlicht erzählt.
Approaches to a “new" World Literature
The history of written Romani literature is only about 100 years old, and thus Romani literatures are still being defined and consolidated. At least two special features characterize this young literature: on the one hand, it is a multilingual diasporic world literature that often can be characterized as engaged literature and tries to deconstruct various age-old stereotypes of the minority. On the other hand, female authors play a strikingly prominent role. Female authors frequently achieve visibility with their texts on the national book markets. Some authors appear in their own texts as committed feminists and/or human rights activists. For other authors, sexuality and gender play a less ...
Cuisine and Symbolic Capital
This collection of interdisciplinary essays examines food as it mediates social relationships and self-presentation in a variety of international films and literature. Authors explore the ways that making, eating and thinking about food reveals culture. In doing so the essays highlight how food and foodways become a type of symbolic capital, which influences the larger concern of cultural identity. Essays are organized into three central themes: Culinary Translations of Identity: From Britain to China; Food as Metaphor in Contemporary German Writing; and Love, Feasting and the Symbolic Power of Food in French Writing. Each essay investigates the uses of food as a way to apprehend cultural meaning. The essays presented provide theoretical templates for the study of food in a wide range of international film and literature,
