French Chronicle …

August 21, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

Apart from the news from Marseilles (see other post on France), news are like always in France: A camp evacuated in Brunoy, near Paris; Montreuil, where the people who were forced out of the camp still haven’t been re-lodged; in Marseilles, where, besides the headlines of the attack, Rroma were also expelled from a camp just before school begin; in Montpellier, where a fire was started in a camp – again; and in the north, in Roubaix, where people take the opportunity of a Rroma camp to dump toxic waste; in Maubeuge, the story of a part of town being reconstructed (after the eviction of Rroma); and finally in Lille, were volunteers do activities with Rroma children.

Minorities in Scotland at a Disadvantage

Minorities in Scotland are still disadvantaged. They are poorer, have less access to education, and live in crowded housing. This also concerns Rroma.

Gold and the Vatican

August 21, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

An article about the Gold that was taken away from Rroma during the Holocaust in World War Two, which according to the president of the World Roma Organisation, Jovan Damjanovic, landed in Swiss banks and in the Vatican.

That 3.5 Mio Rroma died in the Holocaust is probably a very high number, experts think it is probably closer to 1.5 Million, with roughly 275’000 registered deaths (most people were not registered, even in camps, when they were immediately gassed).

That Gold transited through Switzerland, and thus also Rroma Gold, is a certainty. That some of it landed in the Vatican will be difficult to prove.

Czech Survivors: So little – So late…

August 17, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

Germany will pay 2’500 Euro to Czech Rroma Holocaust survivors. Knowing how many effectively survived (actually almost no Czech Rroma did survive, most Rroma in the Czech Republic are originally from Slovakia, having been moved there by the communists right after the war) and the time passed, this is not going to ruin Germany.

It is almost an insult…

Early Weddings

A long article in the German paper “Die Welt” about the plight of young Rroma girls who are wed at the age of 13 or so.

Yes it happens, but no, it is not common among all Rroma. This is a typical Vlach tradition that is not common in other places. But otherwise, for a change quite well informed. They are true in the fact that traditionally, the first boyfriend is one’s husband. Overall, the article in not bad.
