The German government has adopted the concept of a Documentation Centre for Dealing with the German Occupation Regime in Europe. The monumental project is the result of many years of work and discussions about what such a place should be like.
Well, still widespread. But something is actually quite good in this survey. 90% of the respondents actually said there was racism in Germany, which is a huge step towards resolving the issue.
Racism against Sinti and Roma has a long tradition in Germany – including in science. So far, it has drawn a stereotypical picture. Now researchers who belong to the minority want to contribute their own perspective.
The process against police in Singen, Germany, for having arrested and handcuffed an 11 year old Sinto is starting. Not clear whether it will continue, as the police got cold feet and accepted the fine that was handed to them.
Too bad, as this kind of behaviour needs to be legally sanctioned.
A 93 years old German woman was sentenced to a year of jail for Holocaust denial.
How can she deny it? This is crazy.
Exactly what one doesn’t need. Two Romanian Roma families fought against each other with knives and machetes in the middle of the poshest part of Munich. 3 people were arrested for murder.
Bad.
An interview of Romani Rose, chairman of the Council of German Sinti and Roma.
A bad headline to say the least: Roma families in Munich and apparently endless issues.
You’d think it was resolved long time ago.
No …
The German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier asks Roma and Sinti for forgiveness, as it took way to long to recognise the Roma Holocaust and the discriminations continue.
Roma refugees from the Ukraine without valid documents are not welcome.
Bad.
Or how a town sends Roma refugees from the Ukraine further away…
Discriminations against Roma are an everyday occurrence in German schools.
The number of crimes committed against Sinti and Roma fell slightly last year for the first time since systematic recording began in 2017. The authorities reported 109 so-called Roma crimes for the past year – 18 percent fewer than in 2020 with 133 crimes, according to a response from the Federal Ministry of the Interior to a request from the Left Movement reported by the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (NOZ).
“A small town made up of Sinti and Roma” is developing on the Munich exhibition grounds. The member of parliament Andreas Lorenz (CSU) visited the exhibition halls on Sunday (March 3rd). His conclusion: “Today, 2,100 people are housed here. 1,200 of them are children. 90 percent are Sinti and Roma.” Apparently not all those who arrive come from the Ukraine. “Around 30 percent have no papers”, can be heard in the exhibition halls. Lorenz: “I found that many don’t even know the Ukrainian government districts.”
The fact that Germany discriminates against Sinti and Roma at every level in the education.
The Stuttgart Sinto Peter Reinhardt tells as a contemporary witness in a film about his life as a descendant of the survivors of the Nazi terror and about never-ending discrimination.
The student association of Sinti and Roma in Germany supports Sinti and Roma at universities with advice and action. One of the founders of the association, Radoslav Ganev, talks about the antigypsy myths and stereotypes that students are still confronted with at universities today.
In brief, academia has the same bias against Roma.
Such articles do not help, but then, the facts are not good either.
A group of Roma refugees from the Ukraine rioted when they were told they would need to lodge in a gym. They were expecting a hotel…
