A memorial on the Hodonin camp commemorating the Rroma victims of the Holocaust will be erected in the summer. Nice… But wil they say that most Rroma were arrested and deported by the Czech themselves?

The Federal government and the Regions in Germany have finally promised to retain the graves of Rroma Holocaust survivors. Normally, unless the family pays, these graves are re-used after a 25 years period.
May these people rest in peace and eternity.

Germany has agreed to compensate the Czech Rroma who survived the Holocaust. Good, but it will not ruin Germany: 71 years after the end of the War, not many are still alive. And anyhow not many survived in the Czech lands.
A short apology from the Czech would be nice, as they deported the Rroma themselves, in 1941.

The article is correct on the Holocaust and the persecution of Rroma in Germany by the Nazis, but on Rroma itself, the author has obviously no idea. He speaks of two main “tribes”, the Rroma and the Sinti for one. Please inform yourself prior to writing.

An Austrian Bishop conference in Eisenstadt asked for a worthy memorial to the Rroma and Sinti victims of the Holocaust in Austria… Would also have been nice to say that the church did not do much against it when it was happening …

Leaders from several of the main monotheistic religions have issued an appeal for peace in Auschwitz.
GOOD … especially since these monotheistic religions were often at the core of the persecutions.
BUT … Let’s be historically correct. More than one Mio of Jews were killed in Auschwitz. Yes, we agree. There were also 25’000 Rroma who were registered there. REGISTERED. More were killed. Exactly as Jews, those who were gassed immediately were not in the registers. Ca. 350 thousand Jews were registered. Let’s keep that in mind. It is to this day impossible to know how many Rroma were killed.
May they all rest in peace.

An article obout he Holocaust memorial in Berlin, wich, according to this writing could not be build today, first because it only commemorates the Jewish victims and not Rroma and others, but mostly because the anti-Semitisms has increased so much that such a monument would be controversial.
Bad.
