Today’s Doodle, illustrated by Czech guest artist Filip
Posivac, celebrates the centennial birthday of Slovakian-Romani writer and
dramatist Elena Lacková, who is widely considered the first author in post-war
Czechoslovakia to tell the story of the Romani people and the persecution they
faced throughout World War II.
Born on this day in 1921 in Veľký Šariš, Czechoslovakia (modern-day Slovakia),
Elena Lacková was raised in a settlement of Romani people—a historically
oppressed European ethnic group of Indian origin. Although she was unable to
pursue higher education due to anti-Romani laws, Lacková became a talented
writer of her own accord, penning poems by moonlight as the only girl out of the
600 children in her settlement with the ability to read.
In 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Czechoslovakia and persecuted its Romani
settlements as part of the regime’s Roma Holocaust. Lacková survived these
atrocities and became determined to reinvigorate Roma pride through theatre. Her
first published work of literature—a play entitled “Horiaci cigánsky tabor”
(“The Gypsy Camp Is Burning,” 1947)—depicted the collective hardships of the
Romani people during the Holocaust, while providing a new perspective into their
culture.
Lacková’s work continually uplifted the Romani community through literary
mediums such as short stories, fairy tales, and radio plays. In 1970, she
achieved yet another milestone as the first Romani woman in Czechoslovakia to
graduate from university. A pioneer who received countless accolades, Lacková
became the first Romani woman to receive one of Slovakia’s highest honors, the
Order of Ľudovít Štúr III, awarded in 2001. Happy birthday, Elena Lacková! |
