Among the victims of Nazi racism were hundreds of thousands of European Roma – interned, murdered, sterilised and driven from their homes. Manolito Steinbach is a German Sinto, born in Berlin, and a professional musician. He grew up hearing about the Nazi persecution of the Roma from his grandmother, who survived Ravensbrück concentration camp and Auschwitz. His life has been shaped by the Holocaust experiences and memories of his own family and friends. It has also been marked by the continuing prejudice and discrimination against Roma, which exists all over Europe and has been described as the last respectable form of racism.
On this day when we remember those persecuted and murdered by the Nazis and their allies, Manolito will read from his book of memories. The readings will be in German with English interpretation. Musical interludes will be provided by the Swing Trio Manouche (Manolito Steinbach and Donny Schwarz on guitar and Sorin Ferat on the violin).
The event takes place at the Princes Road Synagogue, Liverpool L8 1TG. It begins at 7.15 pm, but is preceded by an introductory talk by Professor Eve Rosenhaft, which starts at 6.30 pm.
The event is hosted by the Liverpool Old Hebrew Congregation in cooperation with the University of Liverpool and co-sponsored by Liverpool City Council and the Granby Toxteth Development Trust.
