Romania commemorates the Holocaust against the Roma

August 5, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

“Today we pay a pious tribute to the memory of the Roma, the almost 500,000 children, women and men victims of the Holocaust. Entire families perished in this genocide, being subjected to horrific brutalities. Our thoughts also go out to those who survived the horrors and their descendants. This year, in Romania, we commemorate 80 years since the first deportations of Roma to Transnistria by the Antonescu regime. About 25,000 Roma were deported to Transnistria and condemned to live in inhuman and unsanitary conditions, deprived of food and forced to do forced labour. Of these, not more than half had the strength to survive. The Romanian state has assumed responsibility for this crime, a dark episode of our history,” states a message sent by President Klaus Iohannis.

Bravo, that is a real first.

Beating in Romania

June 28, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

Bruises on the face, swollen eye, scared and crying children. A video is being spread on social networks among Roma in Romania. A 37-year-old Rom from Piatra Neamt north of Bucharest was beaten by police. The reason was that he refused to provide an ID when the taxi in which he was driving as a passenger was stopped. Information from the Romanian newspaper Libertatea was published by the European Roma Rights Center (ERRC).
