An exhibition on the Genocide of the Roma during the Nazi Era. What is unfortunate is the use of the word “Tsigane” in its title, and in the title of the article.

March 30, 2025 Published by: Roma Foundation

Only one significant news in the French press this week, with Jean Baptiste Borsali, the mayor of the town of Le Bourget, near Paris, asking the interior minister to evacuate two camps of Roma in this town. The mayor reports “insistent and sometimes aggressive begging”, an “increase in burglaries and snatch thefts”, a “growing sense of insecurity”, an “uncontrollable proliferation of pests despite pest control efforts” and “streets and sidewalks littered with rubbish from systematic garbage rummaging”.
