The chairman of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose, emphasized the importance of trials of Nazi crimes. “It’s about establishing guilt, not about revenge or about bringing an old man to prison,” said Rose on Friday before the start of the 22nd day of the trial in the trial of a suspected former concentration camp guard in Brandenburg/Havel. “But our society must distance itself from such perpetrators.”

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”.

Remembrance

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. The focus of the commemoration is the fate of the Austrian Sinti family Endress.
