Synopsis:
PORRAIMOS, the Romani word meaning “the devouring,” is the first American documentary to expose how the pseudo-science of eugenics was used to persecute not only Jews, but also Gypsies. To the Nazis, Gypsies’ dark skin and nomadic ways made them “lives not worthy of life.” Interviews with Roma and Sinti survivors, as well as the Jewish artist who was ordered by Joseph Mengele to paint portraits of Gypsy prisoners at Auschwitz, document the oppression of the Roma, and how their registration, segregation, and internment, lead to sterilization, medical experiments ending in their genocide.
