It has been 20 years since the project started. There are now more than 60’000 spread all over Germany, remembering victims of the Holocaust and where they lived. They honoured Jews, Rroma, and others who were killed in the Nazi madness.
Let’s remember them all, and well done as a project!
Latest on begging in Sweden… Well, it is not forbidden, but beggars “limit access for disabled people” … What else?
An example of what can be done, even in Slovakia.
An article on Rroma in Italy. Well done, it states the correct facts, and the reality. According to the article, there are approximately “180,000 Roma and Sinti […] currently living in our country. In fact, most of them live, work and lead a normal life while, according to the association July 21, about 35,000 live in emergency housing, and nearly 20,000 of them in formal settlements. This is basically 0.06% on the Italian population (tiny percentage compared to the media coverage)”
A good Read!
A reportage on teenage pregnancies in Romania, and its inevitable conclusion that it affects many Rroma. While it is true that many young Rroma have children early (very early), ethnicity may not be the root cause.
No sexual education, no contraception are available in the countryside, and in addition, several of the free churches that are active in those regions are adamantly against both, resulting in a new phenomenon of large families among traditionally small Rroma ones.
A Turkish art project aims at bridging the divide between ethnic groups in that country.
Well Done!
The Bulgarian government approved a report monitoring the progress of Rroma integration in 2015… Would be curious to see it, as the situation has declined severely for Rroma in that country.
The fate of a school in Glasgow where almost none of the 222 enrolled children speaks English and where the majority of them (181) are Rroma children from Slovakia and Romania makes the headlines in the UK.
While the Times is relatively neutral, the Daily Mail and others are really rabid. Rroma are being used to influence the vote in June, no doubt.
More on the clashes between the police and anti-Rroma protesters following an alleged attack by Rroma on non-Rroma in that city.
Dangerous and SHAME!
A comic strip on the fate of Rroma and the discrimination they constantly face. Unfortunately, the comic strip also conveys many of the stereotypes on Rroma.
Chilling …
An exhibition on the Holocaust of Rroma in Bohemia and other Czech lands is opening this week. Good one speaks about it, as the Czech lands were nearly totally cleaned of Rroma in World War Two. And not all by German Nazis, by far not.
Bravo !
Some Rroma poetry for Jasenovac.
Let’s remember the victims. T’ovel lengo drom puterdo!
A new Network of Diasporas has been started at an EU conference, networking Jews, Armenians, Rroma, and Assyrians.
Three policemen were injured in Bulgaria when they intervened to disperse an anti Rroma riot that was sparked by an incident two days ago where four Rroma men were charged with attempted murder on three non Rroma Bulgarians.
Bad …
An action for the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust in Austria.
Good!

Switzerland loves it complicated… They want segregated camping places for local travelers – Yenische – and for Rroma – usually denotes as “Foreign” even though there are Rroma travelers in Switzerland.
In Western Switzerland, the state is expulsing “foreign Gypsies”.
BAD!
Ten Rromnja from camps surrounding Rome are cooking against prejudice in that city!
