Romani Rose

Romani Rose has been chairman of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma since 1982, that is for 40 years. Born in Heidelberg, he received a lot of recognition for his commitment to fighting discrimination. However, Romani Rose still sees prejudices against Sinti and Roma in society. The 75-year-old comes from a Sinti family. 13 members of his family were murdered in the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp and in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. With the Heidelberg Documentation and Cultural Centre of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose commemorates the Nazi genocide of the European Sinti and Roma.
