Roma, the UN and the Roma Holocaust

Published by:

Christian Pfeil (80) from Trier, Germany will speak at the United Nations on Friday, January 26th, on the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day. He was born in a concentration camp and many members of his family were murdered in Auschwitz. Christian Pfeil has been committed to coming to terms with history for years. With his speech at the UN he wants to draw attention to the increasing anti-Semitism and the situation of the Sinti and Roma in the Balkan states.

Slovenia and Roma

Published by:

Again an article on the Roma and security in Slovenia. The parliamentary group of the Slovenian Democratic Party requested the convening of an urgent meeting of the Commission for Petitions, Human Rights and Equal Opportunities.

According to the article, inhabitants of the Dolenj municipalities express their concern about the increasing level of crime and violence in various ways, including in the school environment, where they witness cases of violence perpetrated by Roma. Children from Roma families often miss lessons and, as a result, lag behind their peers in terms of knowledge, which often leads to physical dominance in the classroom and, as a result, to extortion and fights. Many of them drop out of school, which in turn increases their risk of unemployment, social poverty and involvement in criminal activities.

Well, it is a self-made issue…
