=== In popular culture === *In the 2011 documentary film, ''[[A People Uncounted]]: The Untold Story of the Roma'', filmmaker Aaron Yeger chronicles the rich, yet difficult [[history of the Romani people]], from ancient times to the Romani genocide which was perpetrated by the Nazis during WWII, and then, it chronicles the history of the Romani people from the end of World War II to the present day. Romani Holocaust survivors share their raw, authentic stories of life in the concentration camps, providing first-hand accounts of this minority group's experience, a subject which the public does not know about. *In 2009, [[Tony Gatlif]], a French Romani film director, directed the film ''[[Korkoro]]'', which portrays the Romani Taloche's escape from the Nazis, with help from a French notary, Justes, and his difficulty in trying to lead a sedentary life.<ref>{{cite web |last= Nyiri |first=Mary |year=2010 |title=It's Only a Movie: Film Review of Kokoro (Freedom) |url=http://www.kinocritics.com/article.php?ar=364 |website=KinoCritics.com }}</ref> The film's other main character, Mademoiselle Lise Lundi, is inspired by [[Yvette Lundy]], a teacher who worked in [[Gionges]] and was active in the [[French Resistance]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Yvette Lundy, inspire un film à Tony Gatlif |date=8 April 2012 |website=France 3 Champagne-Ardenne |publisher=[[France Télévisions]] |language=fr |url=http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/champagne-ardenne/info/yvette-lundy-inspire-un-film-a-tony-gatlif-72133304.html |access-date=8 November 2015 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304065334/http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/champagne-ardenne/info/yvette-lundy-inspire-un-film-a-tony-gatlif-72133304.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> *The 1988 Polish film, ''[[And the Violins Stopped Playing]],'' also has the Porajmos as its subject. It was criticized for showing the killing of Roma as a method of removing witnesses of the [[The Holocaust in Poland|killing of Jews]].{{sfn|Hancock|2010|p=256}} *A scene in the French-language film ''[[Train of Life|Train de Vie (Train of Life)]]'', directed by [[Radu Mihaileanu]], depicts a group of Romani singing and dancing with Jews at a stop en route to a concentration camp. *In the graphic [[X-Men]] novel ''[[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|The Magneto Testament]]'', [[Max Eisenhardt]], who would later become Magneto, has a crush on a Romani girl who is named Magda. He later meets her again in Auschwitz, where she is in the Gypsy Camp and together, they plan their escape. The Porajmos is described in detail.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://comicstore.marvel.com/X-Men-Magneto-Testament/comics-series/1606|title=X-Men: Magneto – Testament Digital Comics – Marvel Comics|website=comicstore.marvel.com|access-date=2016-05-03|archive-date=8 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200508214950/https://comicstore.marvel.com/X-Men-Magneto-Testament/comics-series/1606|url-status=dead}}</ref> *In 2019, Roz Mortimer directed ''[[The Deathless Woman]]'', a 'hybrid-documentary' film which is both a ghost story and a record of first person testimonies about historical crimes which were committed against the Roma during WWII (and contemporary crimes). The ghostly narrator, voiced in Romani by Iveta Kokyová, questions the absence of her history in archives and museums.<ref>{{Citation |last=Mortimer |first=Roz |title=The Deathless Woman |date=6 October 2019 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11051880/ |type=Documentary |publisher=Wonderdog Productions (II) |access-date=2022-04-14}}</ref>
