Das Pogrom von Rostock-Lichtenhagen im August 1992 war ein gewalttätiger, mehrere Tage andauernder Angriff auf rumänische Roma-Asylsuchende und Gastarbeiter aus Vietnam. Es ist bis heute einer der bedeutendsten Fälle rassistischer Gewalt im Nachkriegsdeutschland und verdeutlicht die damals vorherrschende starke anti-Roma- und Migrant_innen feindliche Stimmung. Das Buch „Wir entkamen auf eigene Faust“. Augenzeugenberichte rumänischer Roma vom Pogrom in Rostock-Lichtenhagen (1992), herausgegeben vom Dokumentationszentrum „Lichtenhagen in Erinnerung“ und der Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, präsentiert eine Sammlung von Interviews mit Überlebenden des Pogroms. Die Veranstaltung beginnt mit einer Einführung der Aktivistin Izabela Tiberiade, gefolgt von einem Interview-Screening mit dem Überlebenden Marian Dumitru. Der Abend endet mit einer künstlerischen Lesung der Zeugenaussagen durch die Schauspielerin Bianca Babașa.

 

“We Escaped on Our Own”. Eyewitness Accounts of Romanian Roma from the Pogrom in Rostock-Lichtenhagen (1992)

The Rostock-Lichtenhagen pogrom, which took place in August 1992, was a violent, days-long attack targeting Romanian-Roma asylum seekers and migrant workers from Vietnam. It remains one of the most significant instances of racist violence in post-war Germany, highlighting the intense anti-Roma and anti-immigrant sentiments prevalent at the time. The book “We Escaped on Our Own”. Eyewitness Accounts of Romanian Roma from the Pogrom in Rostock-Lichtenhagen (1992), edited by the Documentation Center “Lichtenhagen in Memory” and the State Center for Political Education Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, presents a collection of interviews with survivors of the pogrom. The event will begin with an introduction by activist Izabela Tiberiade, followed by an interview-screening with survivor Marian Dumitru. The evening will conclude with an artistic reading of the testimonies by actress Bianca Babașa.
