Germany: Critique

January 28, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

The President of the Baden-Württemberg State Parliament, Muhterem Aras, criticized the way in which Sinti and Roma are treated in south-west Germany. “We are just not as tolerant and open as we sometimes pretend to be,” said the Greens politician to the “Schwäbische Zeitung”. Sinti and Roma are German citizens, they are part of our society.

On the occasion of the Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, the Protestant Church of Reconciliation Dachau commemorates the genocide of the Sinti and Roma, which began 80 years ago in the Kulmhof extermination camp. Church councilor Björn Mensing said that around 5,000 Sinti and Roma from the nearby so-called “Gypsy camp” on the edge of the Lodz ghetto were brutally murdered.

Zilli Schmidt, one of the last survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp, received the Federal Cross of Merit in Mannheim on Friday evening. Mayor Peter Kurz (SPD) paid tribute to the 97-year-old for her political commitment as a member of German Sinti and Roma. Zilli Schmidt was persecuted by the National Socialists as a “Gypsy”. Her parents, her two sisters and her daughter Gretel were murdered in Auschwitz. After the Second World War, Zilli Schmidt built a new life in Mannheim.
