Gold and the Vatican

Gold and the Vatican

An article about the Gold that was taken away from Rroma during the Holocaust in World War Two, which according to the president of the World Roma Organisation, Jovan Damjanovic, landed in Swiss banks and in the Vatican.

That 3.5 Mio Rroma died in the Holocaust is probably a very high number, experts think it is probably closer to 1.5 Million, with roughly 275’000 registered deaths (most people were not registered, even in camps, when they were immediately gassed).

That Gold transited through Switzerland, and thus also Rroma Gold, is a certainty. That some of it landed in the Vatican will be difficult to prove.

Social Housing in the Czech Republic

Some clarifications on social housing in the Czech Republic. This theme has been taken by rightist parties saying this policy is open for abuses and of course will be abused by Rroma… Here’s what the Minister has to day.

Czech Survivors: So little – So late…

Germany will pay 2’500 Euro to Czech Rroma Holocaust survivors. Knowing how many effectively survived (actually almost no Czech Rroma did survive, most Rroma in the Czech Republic are originally from Slovakia, having been moved there by the communists right after the war) and the time passed, this is not going to ruin Germany.

It is almost an insult…

Roma Pride in Prague

Roma Pride in Prague

Roma Pride took place in Prague. This event is taking place since a few years, and, as the second article explains, is far from being a natural thing, as prejudices against homosexuality are often still very strong among Rroma.

Another Blunt Article …

Guess what, lots of immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria, mostly Rroma – says who? – and thus “massive abuses” of the welfare system.

This article is typical of what should not be done: Sensation, generalisation, and ethnic branding…

SHAME.

Czech Philharmonic and Rroma

The Czech Philharmonic is taking time to teach young disadvantaged Rroma music in a music and dance camp attended by 60 children.

Few remarks: There are more than 60 kids in need. And why dance? Isn’t this just too much stereotype?

Regensburg, Germany: Refugees leave the Parish House

In Regensburg, the Rroma who initially occupied the cathedral and then accepted to move to a parish house have left that parish house. Tow of them, one from Kosovo and the other from Macedonia who are under an expulsion order have been arrested. The rest of the refugees have been handed over to the various authorities in charge of refugees. They most probably will also be deported at some point due to the “safe country” policies of Germany.

SHAME!

Switzerland: Rroma Beggars in Zurich

Rroma beggars from Romania are camping in a park near a church in the centre of Zurich. And of course, all the clichés are there: clans, with its clan head (patriarchal structures), poor, stealing, etc.

Bad for Rroma in general, and bad that the press needs to say these are Rroma. They are poor people, that is all.

Hungary: School Segregation Continues

What a surprise … In spite of the condemnation of the EU and the urging of the EU Commission, Hungary continues to segregate Rroma in its school system. A chilling read, but not a surprise since the Human Resource Minister, Mr. Zoltan Balog advocates this segregation.

Austria: A Bishop for Integration

An Austrian Bishop took part to the memorial of Austrian Rroma murdered in Poland. Just missing the fact that the Austrians were actively involved. His other words about integration, stopping prejudice, are the right ones, and not often heard from the Church.

Hungary Commemorates the Rroma Holocaust

Published by:

Hungary Commemorates the Rroma Holocaust

Hungary did commemorate the Rroma Holocaust Remembrance day and even unveiled a memorial to it. Frankly said, they should rather ponder about their history (after all, they deported pretty much all Jews and some Rroma by themselves without assistance), and about the future, namely the extreme racism against Rroma in that country.
