We are hoping to cover production costs, like paying for our hosting site, website, editing and producing, and all the rest. Our goal is to release 2 episodes a month, create video content, like an advice column and other treats, and we would also like to register as a nonprofit so we can produce content by other Romani & Sinti creators. You can find us on Instagram and on Facebook under the same name, and on Twitter started a Ko-fi fundraiser to help us expand. Thank you for listening to Romanistan podcast. This episode's Romani crush is activist Orhan Tahir. Macedonia and is a consultant to immigration attorneys and Roma asylum-seekers in refugee law cases. Today he serves as vice-president of board of the National Roma Centre in North. Jud has lectured on Roma issues at the State Department's Foreign Service Institute and as a guest speaker at schools including Harvard, Tufts, NYU, Purdue and more. He went on to hold a variety of leadership positions in Roma organizations before serving as CEO and, later, consultant to the largest federation of Roma community organizations, the ERTF (European Roma and Traveller Forum), which survives on a much-reduced scale.
Starting out at a Romani political party in Prague, he would later direct the largest program funding and training Roma activists in Europe at George Soros' Open Society Foundations. Jud lived for many years in Europe, working in the Romani civil rights movement. He won the 2017 Baxt Award, given by the Romani Media Initiative. Jud Nirenberg is a Romani American writer who has authored, co-authored and edited several books on Romani issues. In this episode, we hear about Jud’s work, the importance of Romani Resistance Day, and the story of Sinto fighter Johann Trollmann. From underground fight nights to Madison Square Garden, from secret partisan meetings to concentration camp uprisings, across several continents, this is a hard-hitting look at forgotten history.We have the pleasure of interviewing Jud Nirenberg, author of Johann Trollmann and Romani Resistance to the Nazis, which we read from for our Romani Resistance Day episode in season 1. Since World War II, there has been a struggle to obtain greater recognition of this past. Roma and Sinti were victims of fascism, but they also were soldiers, activists, and underground resistors. He fought for his country, and against its prejudice. Trollmann used his visibility in the ring for shocking and aggressive protest, turning boxing into politically charged performance art. Many Sinti and Roma (or "Gypsies") had long been involved in the sport, but Nazi ideology demanded that only Aryans excel as fighters. The Nazis would not accept him as the winner because he was Sinto. In 1933 Johann Trollmann won Germany's light-heavyweight boxing title. We're sorry this specific copy is no longer available.
