Remembering the Past: Film Screening and Discussion on the ‘Auschwitz Decree’ in Freising

ICMGLT held a powerful webinar titled “Multigenerational Legacies of Roma Auschwitz Hell and Survival,” focusing on the enduring impact of the Holocaust on Roma communities. Participants were encouraged to watch the 2013 film Dui Rroma beforehand, which documents the harrowing experiences of Hugo Höllenreiner, a Roma/Sinto survivor of Auschwitz and victim of Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele’s experiments. The film follows young composer Adrian Gaspar, the filmmaker’s son, as he listens to Hugo’s story and transforms it into a moving oratorio, Symphonia Romani – Bari Duk. Through this creative dialogue, Dui Rroma highlights the suffering and resilience of Roma people while fostering healing and strengthening Roma identity. The webinar featured the filmmaker, Adrian Gaspar, and Hugo’s grandson. You can watch the webinar here.

Building on the themes of survival and resilience explored in the ICMGLT webinar, a special film screening of Dui Rroma will be held in Freising to commemorate the “Auschwitz Decree” of December 16, 1942. This event will feature a discussion with the filmmaker Iovanca Gaspar, offering a unique opportunity to reflect on the multigenerational trauma and healing within the Roma community.
