Abstract

This article tells about the the wartime fate of the Volyn Gypsies from the Vajs’s musical fl eet. The text includes the records of the Vajs family memories, collected by Jerzy Ficowski, and the comments of researchers. There is an important problem of an ahistorical consciousness of Gypsies, which resulted in the silencing of their Holocaust experience. References are made to a poem by the Gipsy poet Bronislava Vajs–Papusha, which is the only comprehensive Gipsy testimony about the time of war.
