Switzerland: Rroma Travellers left Neuchatel …

The Rroma who made the headlines in the last month in the Canton Neuchatel apparently left. Not far, that we know, but they are no longer in Neuchatel. A canton that tries to forbid foreign travellers from coming.

Let’s hope a lot more visit them!

The Pope in Auschwitz: Let’s get the Facts Straight

The Pope in Auschwitz: Let’s get the Facts Straight

The Pope visited Auschwitz, met survivors, all in silence, may the souls that departed appreciate.

But the article states some incorrect facts. The mention 1.5 mio dead. This is correct. But then say 23’000 Rroma. Also correct if you “only” count those who were registered. To give a comparison, there are 300’000 registered Jews in Auschwitz. Far from the 1.5 Mio. Simply said, registered people where the ones who were not immediately gassed. Those who died on arrival are not recorded in the camp, just in the transport. So fact is: many more Rroma died in Auschwitz than the 23’000. May their souls rest in peace.

Leipzig: Aggressive Beggars

Leipzig: Aggressive Beggars

Another article on aggressive beggars, on a possible interdiction of begging with children, without a single mention of Rroma. This in itself is good, but does it suffice? Everyone (see the comments at the end of the article) names the culprits. Sometimes, Political Correctness is not so effective.

Croatia: Stepinac Rehabilitated

Croatia rehabilitated Cardinal Stepinac. The cardinal had been condemned in 1946 in a trial, which according to the current judge violated his right to a fair trial. May well be, but Stepinac was a supporter of the Ustaša regime and he never condemned their actions, especially not the killings of Jews and Rroma.

Stepinac is and remains a supporter of mass murderers.
