Sachsenhausen Trial

January 29, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

The chairman of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose, emphasized the importance of trials of Nazi crimes. “It’s about establishing guilt, not about revenge or about bringing an old man to prison,” said Rose on Friday before the start of the 22nd day of the trial in the trial of a suspected former concentration camp guard in Brandenburg/Havel. “But our society must distance itself from such perpetrators.”

Representatives of the civic association eduRoma claim in an open letter that the Minister of Finance of the Slovak Republic Igor Matovič (OĽaNO) is building rough walls between the current government of the Slovak Republic and the civic sector.

The controversy follows the allocation of 330’000 EUR to the Conference of Bishops of Slovakia to support missionary pastoral work in Roma communities and ignoring the work of other NGOs and churches.
