Hamburg and Holocaust

January 18, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

The controversy on the Documentation Centre and the memorial of the Hannover Railway station is being solved. The Documentation Centre will have its own building.

The controversy arose as the initial location of the centre was in a building shared with a company who is linked to Nazis.

Poland and Roma

January 18, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

A typical article on Roma. This time, they state “The world of the Roma, despite being so close to us, still appears to many Poles as a hermetic, closed world. Undoubtedly, Roma artists bring it closer to us.” They thus manage a set of stereotypes in one go. It gets worse, as they also say that one of the most popular gypsy artists in Poland, Patrycja Runo was cursed by some of the Roma because she fell in love with a Pole.
