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.

Right after the outbreak of the war, two Roma women and eight children came. The oldest crossed the border barefoot. They have not been registered. It is not known what happened to them. They disappeared – says Dr. Joanna Talewicz-Kwiatkowska, who has been supporting the Roma community for two decades, president of the Foundation for the Website of Dialogue and co-founder of the Poland-Roma-Ukraine group on Facebook.

Really?

An article about “Ukrainian” (sic.!) refugees complaining being housed in a gym and who are allegedly Roma, not necessarily from the Ukraine.

If you write such articles, you should (a) know what you are talking about  and (b) not make allegations that can neither be proved nor disproved. If the refugees had a Ukrainian ID, they are from the Ukraine. If they are not, it is also pretty easy to know, as they will not speak Ukrainian or Russian.

Crap journalism.

Seems that the old plans of former mayor Raggi to close camps and relocate them are still being enforced. It also seems that the money is totally wasted, not helping relocating Roma.

Unfortunately not surprising.

The rightist Swiss paper the Weltwoche, who has written numerous derogatory articles about Roma and now does the apology of Putin wrote a comment on the new German Anti-Roma Racism commissioner. And what does the Weltwoche have to say: simply that “The anti-Semitism commissioner shows how successful this is: the number of anti-Semitic incidents has been increasing since he came into existence”.

SHAME on them.
