Autobiographies by Romani women
Ceija Stojka’s bibliography
Ceija Stojka (1933-2013) was an Austrian romani writer, painter, activist and musician. She published three autobiographies: We Live in Seclusion (1988), Travelers on This World (1992) and I Dream That I am Alive - Liberated From Bergen-Belsen (2005), in which she describes the persecution of Austrian Roma by the Nazis and the time she spent in Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen, from her perspective as a romani girl.
“A Gypsy Dreaming in Jerusalem,” Amoun Sleem
Amoun Sleem is a Palestinian Domari* woman living in Jerusalem. At 16 years old, she founded the first and only Domari rights organization in the Middle East, which aims to support the Dom people, and especially Domari women. The Dom have been facing intense racism and persecution from the Israeli State for decades.
“I write this book to show the difficulties of being Gypsy, but also to show the creativity and beauty in the Gypsy culture. I write it to thank the people who were placed in my life as helpers and encouragers. Many of them have passed away. I hope the readers will enjoy my story as I have enjoyed living it. I give thanks to God for what He has given me in these years.” (x)
“A False Dawn: My Life as a Gypsy Woman in Slovakia”, Elena Lacková
“The book recounts Lacková’s life story from her childhood in the Romani settlement until her retirement in 1980 told through the lens of an extraordinarily gifted and strong-minded Romani woman against the background of developments in the second half of the twentieth century in the former Czechoslovakia. Lacková´s fate is testimony to the fate of the Roma as a group in that country.
The text describes the frictions between, on the one hand, Lacková´s position as a Communist and a civil servant taking part in the implementation of state policies towards Roma as citizens of socialist Czechoslovakia and, on the other hand, her approach to life, her attitudes and her way of thinking, which reflect her immersion in Romani tradition and values as well as the hierarchies of rural Slovakia. Also reflected is her determination to help improve the situation of local Romani communities, which had suffered war-time persecution and isolation, and from the ignorance of the post-war local authorities. The book describes her motivation and willingness to take part in the Romani emancipation movement.” (x)
“American Gypsy,” Oksana Marafioti
Oksana Marafioti is a Russian Romani and Armenian writer, naturalized American citizen. “Marafioti’s book, American Gypsy: A Memoir, published this month, is a humorously honest story of growing up Gypsy, touring Europe with her family of performers, dealing with racism in Russia, then adapting to the U.S., where she was caught between the old world and new amid teenage angst, high school and her musician father’s psychic/exorcism business.” (x)
“Zwischen Liebe und Haß”, Philomena Franz (only in German)
Philomena Franz is a Sinti Auschwitz survivor. Her “autobiographical narrative, Zwischen Liebe und Haß: ein Zigeunerleben (1985), is significant as the first survivor account of the atrocities that were inflicted on Roma during the Second World War. For the past forty years, Franz has been active as a speaker at schools, universities, and community meetings, emphasizing the importance of remembering the Holocaust and its victims.“ (x)
“Never Enough Time in the Day: Memoir of a proud Romani woman”, Olga Fečová (only in Czech)
Olga Fečová (1942-2022) was a respected member of the Czech romani community. In her book, she “captures the idiosyncratic inhabitants of a disappeared world, one of Romani settlements where life was lived traditionally, of tenement houses with balcony hallways in the Old Town of Prague, of "colonies" housing the working class, and sincerely shares her life experience and opinions about it all” (x)
“Our Settlement”, Irena Eliášová (only in Slovak)
“Irena Eliášová was born on 3 May 1953 in the Roma settlement of Novésa (Nová Dedina u Levic) in Slovakia. Her father made a living as a musician. In the 1960s the family went to seek work in Czechia. They stayed at numerous places both in Southern and Northern Bohemia. She only finished elementary school because following her father becoming ill she had to take a job and help provide for the family as a seamstress. After getting to know her future husband the couple moved to Liberec. When her three children grew up, she finally became fully invested in her beloved writing. In 2008, she published the first book of memories called “Our Settlement”.” (x)
“Zigenerska,” Katarina Taikon (only in Swedish)
Katarina Taikon was a famous Swedish Romani rights activist, nicknamed “the Martin Luther King of Sweden.” In her autobiography, she criticizes the living conditions Roma are forced to live under in Sweden. Her book had a tremendous impact in Sweden and in the lives of Swedish Roma, as it drew attention to the poverty and the racism they face from the larger society, leading to the first social mobilizations aiming at improving the lives of Roma in Swedish society.
“Sur ces chemins où nos pas se sont effacés,” Pisla Helmstetter (only in French)
Pisla Helmstetter (1926-2013) was an Alsacian Sinti (romani) woman. In her autobiography, she reminisces about her childhood, spent travelling among French landscapes, in the 1930s, and about her teenage years, during which her family was persecuted by the Nazis, who ethnically cleansed Alsace of all its Roma, deporting them to concentration camps or forcing them to internment camps.
* whether or not the Dom should be considered Romani is debated, but since we share a common ancestry, language and history, and since the Dom identify with Romani cultural elements (like our flag) or with the term “Gypsy”, I’m including them in this post

Happy Birthday James “Midge” Ure born October 10th 1953 in Cambuslang.
Born to a working class family Ure attended Cambuslang Primary School and Rutherglen Academy in Glasgow until he was 15 years old. For the first 10 years of his life he lived in a one-bedroom tenement flat. After leaving school Ure attended Motherwell Technical College and then began to work as an engineer, training at the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), in nearby East Kilbride.
Midge started playing music in a Glasgow band called Stumble in 1969, before joining Salvation, a Glasgow-based group that became the bubblegum band Slik in 1974. Upset in the change of direction, Ure left the band to join the Rich Kids, a punk-pop group led by former Sex Pistol bassist Glen Matlock. The Rich Kids only released one album, 1978’s Ghosts of Princes in Towers, before breaking up later that year. Ure spent a brief time with the Misfits (not the American band) before forming Visage with drummer Rusty Egan and vocalist Steve Strange; he left the group to replace Gary Moore in Thin Lizzy, who had left in the middle of an American tour. After the tour was finished, Ure fulfilled an agreement to join Ultravox as the replacement for John Foxx.
Once he joined the band in 1980, Ure helped make Ultravox a mainstream success; during this time he also worked as a producer, making records with Steve Harley and Modern Man. In 1982, Ure released a solo single, a cover of the Walker Brothers’ hit “No Regrets”; it climbed into the U.K. Top Ten. Ure and Bob Geldof formed Band Aid, a special project to aid famine relief efforts in Ethiopia, in 1984. The two wrote the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and assembled an all-star band of musicians to record the single; it sold millions of copies over the 1984 holiday season.
In 1985, Ultravox was put on hiatus and Ure began to pursue a full-time solo career. Recorded entirely by Ure, his 1985 solo debut, The Gift, launched the number one single “If I Was,” as well as the minor hits “That Certain Smile” and “Call of the Wild.” The following year, he recorded the final Ultravox album; in 1987, the band broke up and he began recording his second solo album. The resulting record, 1988’s Answers to Nothing, was less successful than The Gift in the U.K., yet it charted in the U.S., which is something Ure’s previous album failed to do. Three years later, Ure released his third album, Pure; while it didn’t do any business in America, the album featured the Top 20 British hit “Cold, Cold Heart.” He attempted a comeback in 1996 with Breathe, which went ignored by both the American and British markets. Four years later, his score for the Jon Cryer drama-comedy Went to Coney Island was issued by the Evenmore label.
Ure’s recording activity during the 2000s began with Move Me, which featured some surprisingly hard rocking material. A few years later, he published an autobiography, If I Was, and then, with Geldof, arranged the Live 8 concerts.
Following the release of the covers-oriented 10 IN 2008, Ure participated in an Ultravox reunion and continued to record as a solo artist. Fragile was issued in 2014, and featured the Moby collaboration “Dark, Dark Night.” In 2017, he collaborated with composer Ty Unwin on the album Orchestrated, which featured orchestral reworkings of Ultravox songs, as well as songs from his solo career.
In 2020 Midge released an album Soundtrack 1978-2019, he was one of the lucky artists to have completed his tour promoting this in February that year.
Midge has recently revealed why he turned down an offer to join the Sex Pistols, telling The Telegraph that he considered that taking up the invitation from the band's manager Malcolm McLaren would have been like "joining a slightly edgier Bay City Rollers". He received the offer to join the fledgling punk band back in 1975, while on a visit to McCormack’s instrument hire shop in Glasgow.
In an interview published in the Telegraph he said;
"I was stopped in the street by the Clash’s manager, Bernie Rhodes, who then introduced me to Malcolm McLaren, I didn’t know who either of them was, but they literally asked me to join the Sex Pistols without even asking what I did. To me it would have been like joining a slightly edgier Bay City Rollers, so I turned them down.
On 4th October he celebrated seven decades of music with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. He is married with four daughters and lives in Somerset.

TENEMENT (1985)
“Super grimy and unpleasant. Like the scariest parts of Grandmaster Flash’s ‘The Message’ spun off to become a movie. I think that Republicans in the flyover states think this is a documentary about NYC today - multicultural Pat Benatar backup dancers stabbing elderly people to death and smoking angel dust in crumbling buildings. That’s our reality, right? Did gangs EVER look like that? Watching mtv and Charles Bronson movies tells me yes, but I’m not sure they did. I bet they just wore like Lees and a hoodie. Maybe with a bandana, but just one. Yo this shit was violent!”

The last day of May and the last of our marathon of game systems is Judge Dredd! This is the hardcover edition from 1989, the original box set came out in 1985 and was Games Workshop’s second RPG. System-wise it is its own thing, but owes a lot a lot to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (which would come out the next year). The rules are a bit more straight forward than WFRP. Easy to pick up, fast, violent. I think it mirror’s the comics pretty good.
Confession: I don’t know jack about Judge Dredd other than basic facts, because I am American and the comics were hard to come by when I was a kid (honestly, I was always a Death’s Head guy, yes?). It was a segment for many years in 2000 AD, a long running weekly anthology comic that launched the careers of a terrifying number of comic creators (interior art in this book is credited to Brian Bolland, Carlos Ezquerra, Dave Gibbons and Cam Kennedy, among many others, all taken from the comics). Dredd is a street judge, patrolling the dystopic Mega-City One (which roughly corresponds to the Northeast corridor of the US). Because it is a dystopia, he has the power to arrest, try and execute criminals on the spot. It’s satire, see?
The GM sections of the book are exhaustive in their work to bring Mega-City One to life. NPCs, factions, vehicles. As usual, Games Workshop does a particularly good job with space, laying out how city blocks work (they’re like mega-tenements) and giving floor plans and schematics. All in all, a pretty excellent rulebook.
Dredd is kind of the perfect license for GW? Its grim and gritty, but also funny and silly, while also brightly colored and cartoonish. I may not know much about Dredd, but I love this period of GW design, and in a lot of ways, Dredd is the height of it.

David Graham Du Bois and James Baldwin, 1985. Irma McClaurin
“It is one thing to overthrow a dictator or to repel and invader and quite another thing really to achieve a revolution.”
“If one is continually surviving the worst that life can bring, one eventually ceases to be controlled by a fear of what life can bring; whatever it brings must be borne.”
“This is the message that has spread through streets and tenements and prisons, through the narcotics wards, and past the filth and sadism of mental hospitals to a people from whom everything has been taken away, including, most crucially, their sense of their own worth. People cannot live without this sense; they will do anything whatever to regain it. This is why the most dangerous creation of any society is that man who has nothing to lose.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

MORNING STAR
1940
Morning Star is a three-act play by Sylvia Regan. The original production was produced by George Kondolf and staged by Charles K. Freeman with revised staging by Stella Adler. It starred Molly Picon, Joseph Buloff, Ross Elliott, and Sidney Lumet.
[The play should not be confused with The Morning Star by Emlyn Williams starring Gregory Peck that played the Morosco Theatre in 1942.]
The play is set in a New York tenement apartment on Broome Street, from 1910 to 1931. The play tackles such events as the Triangle Shirt Factory Fire, and World War I.
It opened on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre on April 16, 1940, and played 63 performances, closing on October 3, 1940.
During the brief run, Picon was honored by a visit from New York Governor (and former Presidential hopeful) Al Smith.
Molly Picon (1898-1992) made was known as the “Queen of Second Avenue” for her contributions to Yiddish Theatre. Morning Star was her Broadway debut in an English-language play. She is probably best known for her TV and film roles, including Yente in Fiddler on the Roof (1971).
Joseph Buloff (1899-1985) was born in Lithuania and came to the United States in 1927. Like Picon, he was a well-respected actor in Yiddish Theatre productions. This was his fourth Broadway show. In 1971 he received a Drama Desk Award for his performance in Hard To Be A Jew.
Ross Elliott (1917-1999) was born Elliott Blum in New York City. He was a member of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre but was best known for his film and television roles, including a recurring role on “I Love Lucy”.
Sidney Lumet (1924-2011) was born in Philadelphia to parents who were also stars of the Yiddish Theatre. He transitioned from acting into film directing where he left his mark on the world with five Oscar nominations, and an honorary Oscar in 2011.
Three weeks after the play opened, the Nazi’s invaded Luxemburg and the Netherlands and America’s appetite for theatrical entertainments waned with worry.
When the play’s run was cut short on Broadway, it was decided to tour the show with the original cast and settings. Some minor roles were recast for the tour. First stop was familiar territory for Picon, the primarily Jewish neighborhood of Brighton Beach, at The New Brighton Theatre. It was so successful that the theatre booked a return engagement in August.
From one oceanside vista to another, the show moved to Atlantic City, performing at the Garden Pier Theatre.
Built in 1913, the pier was damaged in the 1944 Great Atlantic hurricane and reopened in the 1950s.
Most of the scenery was left in storage when the play was the second outing at the Ringside Theatre, a theatre-in-the-round (or literally arena) in a converted boxing ring in Long Beach, Long Island NY.
The play also played The Windsor Theatre in the Bronx. With such local success, there was hope that the Subway Circuit might return to its former glory. The play performed its last in August 1940.
When Picon appeared in the Broadway musical Milk and Honey in 1961, she talked about her Broadway debut in Morning Star.
Molly Picon returned to Atlantic City in 1957 with a tour of The World of Sholem Aleichem... but that’s another blog!
STAR DUST
The play was revived by Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1999 and New York’s Pecadillo Theatre Company in 2007.

Women in Horror
As it is currently Women's History Month, I figured it was a great opportunity to spotlight women directors that have contributed to the horror genre. Unfortunately, I could not list every single name and piece of media out there, so I chose to focus on directors that have made feature-length films. However, for anyone interested, the website Cut-Throat Women has a more comprehensive list of not only directors, but producers, and other industry innovators.
SUPER IMPORTANT: While I will try to add warnings when applicable, I’m afraid I have not seen every single film on this list, so there may be upsetting content that I’m not aware of. If you are unsure about a film’s content, and whether or not it will be right for you, please consider looking up the IMDB or Wikipedia listings beforehand. Otherwise, the website DoestheDogDie.com is an excellent resource to find out if a film may contain potentially triggering material.
Lastly, permanent link availability is NOT GUARANTEED. I wish I could have had more links to offer, but I’ve tried to rely only on free streaming sites and Youtube, so as to avoid sending anyone to any sites that might be untrustworthy. Tubi TV requires signing up, but it is still 100% free (and it’s also available as an app on IOS, Android, Xbox Live, and the Playstation Network). I will do my best to update links when there are changes.
There are a few films here that veer more toward being thrillers, sci-fi, or dark fantasy, but I still felt they deserved to be included. Also, every film is in English or has English subtitles unless otherwise noted.

Jetta Goudal (born Julie Henriette Goudeket; July 12, 1891 – January 14, 1985) was a Dutch-American actress, successful in Hollywood films of the silent film era.
Goudal was born on July 12, 1891, the daughter of Geertruida ( Warradijn; 1866–1920) and Wolf Mozes Goudeket (1860–1942), a wealthy diamond cutter, in Amsterdam. Her parents were both Jewish, and her father was Orthodox. She had an older sister, Bertha (1888–1945), and a younger brother, Willem, who died when he was 4 months old in 1896. Her father remarried in 1929 to Rosette Citroen (1882–1943). Her father was murdered at Sobibor extermination camp, age 82. Almost all of her Dutch-Jewish relatives met the same fate. Only a daughter of her sister Bertha survived The Holocaust.
Tall and regal in appearance, she began her acting career on stage, traveling across Europe with various theater companies. In 1918, she left World War I-era devastated Europe to settle in New York City in the United States, where she hid her Dutch Jewish ancestry, generally describing herself as a "Parisienne" and on an information sheet for the Paramount Public Department she wrote that she was born at Versailles on July 12, 1901 (shaving 10 years off her age as well), the daughter of a fictional Maurice Guillaume Goudal, a lawyer.
She first appeared on Broadway in 1921, using the stage name Jetta Goudal. After meeting director Sidney Olcott, who encouraged her venture into film acting, she accepted a bit part in his 1922 film production Timothy's Quest. Convinced to move to the West Coast, Goudal appeared in two more Olcott films in the ensuing three years.
Goudal's first role in motion pictures came in The Bright Shawl (1923). She quickly earned praise for her film work, especially for her performance in 1925's Salome of the Tenements, a film based on the Anzia Yezierska novel about life in New York's Jewish Lower East Side. Goudal then worked in the Adolph Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky co-production of The Spaniard and her growing fame brought her to the attention of producer/director Cecil B. DeMille.
Goudal appeared in several highly successful and acclaimed films for DeMille and became one of the top box office draws of the late 1920s.
DeMille later claimed that Goudal was so difficult to work with that he eventually fired her and cancelled their contract. Goudal filed a lawsuit for breach of contract against him and DeMille Pictures Corporation.
Although DeMille claimed her conduct had caused numerous and costly production delays, in a landmark ruling, Goudal won the suit when DeMille was unwilling to provide his studio's financial records to support his claim of financial losses.
Goudal appeared in 1928's The Cardboard Lover, produced by William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies. In 1929, she starred in Lady of the Pavements, directed by D.W. Griffith, and in 1930, Jacques Feyder directed Goudal in her only French language film, a made-in-Hollywood production titled Le Spectre vert.
Because of her audaciousness in suing DeMille and her high-profile activism in the Actors' Equity Association campaign for the theatre and film industry to accept a closed shop, some of the Hollywood studios refused to employ Goudal. In 1932, at age forty-one, she made her last screen appearance in a talkie, co-starring with Will Rogers in the Fox Film Corporation production of Business and Pleasure.
In 1930, she married Harold Grieve, an art director and founding member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. When her film career ended, she joined Grieve in running a successful interior design business. They remained married until her death in 1985 in Los Angeles. She is interred next to her husband in a private room at the Great Mausoleum, Sanctuary of the Angels, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
In 1960, for recognition of Goudal's contribution to the motion picture industry, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6333 Hollywood Blvd.
On April 19, 2019, the City council of Amsterdam renamed bridge 771, previously without a name, the Jetta Goudalbridge. In early 2020 the name tag was placed.
Jetta Goudal lost nearly all her relatives in the Holocaust. Her sister Bertha died in 1945 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Bertha's husband Nathan Beffie died at the same place in 1944. Jetta's nephew Eduard Beffie (Berta's son) was killed at Sobibór extermination camp. Jetta Goudal's stepmother, Rosette Citroen, was also killed at Sobibor in 1943. Only Bertha's daughter, Geertruida (Truus) Beffie survived the war and died in 2013 in Pennsylvania, United States.

Happy Birthday musician Michael ‘Mike’ Scott born 14th December 1958 in Edinburgh.
Scott was born and raised in Edinburgh. His father, Allan Scott, left the family when Mike was ten years old, but the two were reunited in 2007.
Scott was interested in music from an early age. At age 12, after the family had moved to Ayr, he began a serious interest in learning guitar. In 1968 he mentions listening to Hank Williams as a “life-changing” experience. The next year, Scott was playing in school bands and formed the band Karma, they were inspired by David Bowie, The Beatles and Bob Dylan.
Playing in a few bands by the time 1981 came he had started the idea of The Waterboys, he admits that he “is” The Waterboys, the lineup has changed through the years but he say that “ there’s no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing. They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions.”
It’s not all about having hits with The Waterboys, Mike is a natural songwriter, as The Waterboys and Mike Scott he has released 15 albums, 4 of the singles reached the top 40.
In mid-1980s, when The Waterboys supported U2 at Wembley Arena in London, Mike Scott’s band seemed all set for the same global status as Bono and Co.
The following year, when their third album, This Is The Sea, and classic single, The Whole Of The Moon, catapulted the band’s “big music” into the Top 10 such success seemed virtually assured. But it was never what he wanted. Under pressure from his record company to produce more stadium-pleasing Waterboys tracks, he retreated to Ireland… and made a folk record. Mike has lived in the Fair city of Dublin for over 12 years and holds a dual nationality, he said in an interview last year “ ….people have often told me I’m an honouree Irishman, but I feel Scottish. But I’m very proud to live in Ireland. And my children are Irish. So, now I’ve very deep roots here.”
Mike continues to write and tour with the Waterboys, I remember always arguing with a friend that disagreed with me that the Waterboys were (are) a Scottish group, it’s true some of the members of the group have come from Ireland and England as well as the US but Mike Scott, as I said to him and would still say to him IS The Waterboys, The Whole of the Moon is a top class song and the lyric…
“Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves”
……could only be written by a Scotsman. The song was initially released to a limited success in 1985, it resurfaced again in 1991 and won an Ivor Novello Award as “Best Song Musically and Lyrically” that year and reached number 3. Celtic Women sing a version at their concerts, Jennifer Warnes has also covered it as well as the late great Prince at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club during his 2014 Hit & Run tour. U2 used the song as a “walk out tune” during the Joshua Tree tour.
The Waterboys released their 16th studio album last May, I’ve listened to a few of the tracks, Blackberry Girl for me is the stand out tune, Once were Brothers is a decent track too, it’s a cover of Robbie Robertson song.
The Waterboys are set for dates next year in Portugal, Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries and Germany, before heading home with gigs at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on October 2nd, Edinburgh Usher Hall on the 3rd and back to Glasgow Barrowlands on the 6th, they then head south for a number of dates in England
The song I have chosen this year was originally from The Waterboys Too Close to Heaven album, a collection of outtakes, alternative versions, and unreleased tracks from The Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues period, released in September 2001. This version is sung in a Scottish accent, it is, in my opinion fucking brilliant. The line You feel like you want to have your sporran refilled, just gets me.If I was to describe it, I would say it is like The Proclaimers on Acid.
The mountain is steep
The ditches are deep
The task in hand
Is making us weep
But here's a promise
(I intend to keep
/
That I mean to keep)
Seed it in your mind
And say it each night
Before you sleep:
We will climb higher in time
(och!)
You've got a head full of trouble
And a ship to build
(You think you won't make it
But you know you will
You feel you need your
Cup refilled
Fill it out of mine
We'll drop the defenses
Pool our skill
/
Your heart you're hiding
It's making you ill
You feel like you want to have your
Sporran refilled
Well, fill it out of mine
Let the soulful water
Overspill)
And we will climb higher in time
I've been to the bottom
I've been on the train
I've slept in the gutter
With my head in a drain
I've been brutally proud
I've been mortally shamed
But this is not a crime
I'm just learning, my friends
That it's all in the game
And we will climb higher in time
(Och!)
Climb higher in time
Climb higher in time
