Representation of Roma persecution in school curriculum development in Europe

This book seeks to reflect theoretically and empirically on the pro- cess and results of an international project that lasted two and a half years (TRACER - Transformative Roma Art and Culture for European Remembrance), financed with European funds under the CERV (Citi- zen, Equality, Rights and Value) programme. The main protagonists are young people, mainly Roma and Sinti, living in different places and countries, with their own history that anchors them to different communities, but joined by belonging to discriminated minorities and to a transnational people who recognise themselves as a community albeit characterised by diaspora. The project's goal combines historical knowledge of the genocide that occurred during World War II with an analysis of the construction of prejudice and the role that racism has had on the collective consciousness of a modern society. The method- ology used is participatory action-research in public history educa- tional context1, a process able to make the protagonists aware of a path of knowledge, promoting training actions towards other people and leaving traces of memory in the present through artistic events.
