Remembrance

January 26, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

On the occasion of the Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, the Protestant Church of Reconciliation Dachau commemorates the genocide of the Sinti and Roma, which began 80 years ago in the Kulmhof extermination camp. Church councilor Björn Mensing said that around 5,000 Sinti and Roma from the nearby so-called “Gypsy camp” on the edge of the Lodz ghetto were brutally murdered. The focus of the commemoration is the fate of the Austrian Sinti family Endress.

January 26, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

The Hungarian Roma activist Jenő Setét died last week at the age of 50.

May he rest in peace.

He had become, over the course of his years of activism, the main figure in the fight for the inclusion of the Roma minority in Hungarian society. Noting that “today there is a lack of a politically aware Roma community” capable of defending its political, economic and social interests, he multiplied initiatives to bring out this political awareness.
