REFLECTION OF RACISM, FASCISM AND NAZISM ON THE ROMA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Summary/Abstract: The topic of our scientific paper is racism, fascism and Nazism as retrograde political ideologies. We first included Racism, which, through a pseudo-scientific approach, classifies mankind as a so-called “human being”. “races”, citing anthropological and biological differences that it categorizes and on the basis of this positions on the harmony of superiority and inferiority strictly separating them. Starting with that, “race mixing” is unacceptable, they should live separately and those at the bottom of the scale, controlled, must be destroyed. A follower of racism is called a racist. Racism is the name for an ideology that believes that race is the foundation of human society, that is, that an individual's belonging to a certain race must be the basis for his social position. Racism is sometimes defined as the belief that certain races are superior or inferior to each other. Based on this belief, racism is sometimes simply defined as racial intolerance. Fascism (ital. fascismo)2 was a political movement that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under Benito Mussolini. The name is also used as a generic term for similar movements, emerging mainly after World War I, characterized by authoritarianism, nationalism, militarism, corporatism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism. Some historians and political scientists reject such terminology and prefer to use the terms right-wing extremism or totalitarianism3, although many consider them not precise enough. Nazism or National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus) refers mainly to the totalitarian ideology and practice of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party, German Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP for short) led by Adolf Hitler. Nazism is also called the policy adopted and implemented by the German government in the period from 1933 to 1945, a period which in German history is still called Nazi Germany or the Third Reich.The Ustashas, officially the Ustashas - the Croatian Revolutionary Movement, were a Croatian fascist ultranationalist, clerical and terrorist organization founded by Ante Pavelić in 1929 in Italy. The organization was at the head of the Independent State of Croatia, from April 1941 to May 1945 .
