"Powerful and courageous. Rain of Ash is necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand the wartime experiences of Roma and Jews and their effects on financial, legal, political, and academic representation." --Angéla Kóczé, coeditor of The Romani Women's Movement: Struggles and Debates in Central and Eastern Europe "A revealing and original book about an understudied aspect of the Holocaust. Highly recommended." --Jan T. Gross, author of Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland "A major contribution. This original and much-needed book shows how the experiences of Roma and Jews have always intersected, for good or ill, from the time of the Holocaust to today's complex memory debates." --Dan Stone, author of The Liberation of the Camps: The End of the Holocaust and Its Aftermath "Joskowicz's book represents the best kind of entangled history.

It is chock-full of insights, opening our eyes to the ways in which Roma have had to negotiate their place in the history and memory of the Holocaust." --Mark Roseman, author of Lives Reclaimed: A Story of Rescue and Resistance in Nazi Germany " Rain of Ash shows us that the Holocaust and the Nazi prosecution of Roma and Sinti are entangled events in the deepest sense of the term. Joskowicz has written a stunning work of scholarship: erudite, even-handed, and human to the core." --Yair Mintzker, author of The Many Deaths of Jew Süss: The Notorious Trial and Execution of an Eighteenth-Century Court Jew " Rain of Ash is a brilliant and provocative account of Jewish and Romani efforts to document and commemorate the Holocaust. This is a landmark contribution to both Jewish and Romani history and essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Europe." --Tara Zahra, author of The Great Departure: Mass Migration from Eastern Europe and the Making of the Free World "In this pathbreaking, innovative book, Joskowicz shows how Roma and Jews emerged from unequal histories but suffered next to each other during the Nazi regime's murderous attack. In the postwar era, both groups--with vastly uneven resources--tried to recover, demand justice, and memorialize their dead. Eloquently written and imaginatively conceived, Rain of Ash highlights the entangled history of Romani-Jewish relations, scholarship, and memories.

A must-read!" --Marion A. Kaplan, author of Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany.
