Ceija Stojka

    Ceija Stojka was an Austrian-Romani writer, painter, and musician, and a survivor of the Holocaust. Following World War II, she recognized the lack of acknowledgment for the Romani Holocaust in Austria and the public's ignorance of this suffering. Her first autobiographical book's publication in 1988 brought to light the issues surrounding the Nazi persecution of Austrian Romani people. Her work serves as a powerful testament to survival and a critical examination of historical injustice.
