ROMA-Holocaust

„Atunchi aba kidenas le romen
kethane ando sako gav, vi amen kamna
te ingren, numa o barvalo gazho na
muklas amen, ke mishto kerdam butyi.
Avilas jekh inkesto.
Detehara karing le oxto chasi avri
trubulas te ashas pe avlina.
Samas kade shtarvardesh-panzhvardesh
zhene. Colaxardas amen.
Amaro vast po jilo trubulas te shuvas,
ke mishto kerasa butyi.
Sas jekh phuri romnyi, kodi aba chi zhanglas
butyi te kerel.
Voj chi shutas o vast pe pesko jilo, atunchi
phenel o inkesto, tu sostar chi shuves kothe
tyo vast.
Phenel e phuri romnyi vash kodi na
colaxarav ke me na phenav chachipo. Kothe
gelas o inkesto, piff-puff duj palma tele cirdas
lake.”

„Summáskodtunk, mert már munka nem
volt, mint most sincsen. (…)
Akkor már szedték a romákat
mindenfelôl, minket is el akartak vinni,
csak az intézô nem engedte ôket,
mert jól dolgoztak.
Jött egy katonatiszt. Reggel nyolckor ki
kellett állnunk az udvarra.
Voltunk talán negyvenen-ötvenen.
Esküdtetett. A kezünket a szívünkre
kellett tenni, hogy hûségesen fogunk
dolgozni.
Volt egy öreg néni, az már nem bírt
dolgozni. Nem tette a kezét a szívére.
És akkor a hadnagy mondja,
hogy te mért nem teszed a kezdet
a szívedre. Mondta, azért, mert én
hamisan nem esküdök.
Odament, piff-puff, két pofont
lehúzott neki.”

Farkasfán éltünk. Summáskodtunk, mert már
mun ka nem volt, mint most sincsen. Pécsen,
Ba ranyába, meg Tolnába voltak ilyen nagy
uradalmak, oda szoktunk elmenni családostul
együtt. Istállóba vótunk. Márciusba kihajtották
a teheneket a mezôre, a romákat meg be. Még
szalma se volt, kazal volt. De nagyon büdös.
Aztán késôbben kértek a férfiak fejszét, fûrészt a
cselédektôl, csináltak priccseket, hoztak be egy
kis szalmát. Mégiscsak jobb volt, mint a földön.
Ott voltunk nyolc hónapig. Akkor már szedték
a romákat mindenfelôl, minket is el akartak
‘We worked as season workers, because
there were no jobs, like there are not any as
well today. (…) Then they were already collecting
the Roma from everywhere, they
wanted to take us as well, but the steward
did not let them go, because they worked
hard. An officer came. We had to line up in
the courtyard at eight o’clock in the morning.
There were forty or fifty of us. We had
to take an oath. We had to put our hands
on our hearts and swear that we would be
faithful
workers. There was an old woman, who
could not work anymore. She did not put
her hand on her heart. Then the 2nd
lieutenant asked her: ’Why don’t you put
your hand on your heart?’ She answered:
‘Because I won’t take a false oath.’ Then
he went over to her and bang!, he slapped
her twice in the face.’

We were living in Farkasfa. We worked as
season workers, because there were no jobs, like
there is not any today as well. At Pécs, in
Baranya and in Tolna county there were these
huge estates and we used to go there with our
families. We stayed in the stable. In March they
drove the cattle to the fields, an they let the
Roma in. There was no straw in there only
stack. But it stank. Later the men asked for an
axe and a saw from the servants and they made
some plank-beds and put straws on them. It was
better there than on the ground. We were there
