Novitch, Miriam

Novitch, Miriam
(?-1990)
   Poland. Political activist and historian. She escaped death during World War II because she was arrested as a resistance worker-not as a Jew - and was therefore sent to a prison rather than a concentration camp. She was among the first to become interested in the fate of the Gypsies during the Holocaust. In 1961, she wrote her first article on the subject-"Le second génocide" [The Second Genocide] - and followed this up in 1965 with a 31-page report on the killing of the Gypsies and a pamphlet supporting a campaign to get a monument erected for the Gypsies killed in Auschwitz. She addressed the second World Romany Congress. After immigrating to Israel, Novitch established an exhibit on Gypsies in the Museum of Kibbutz Lohamei ha-Ghettaoth.
