Tomio Okamura

Published by:

The Czech MP and president of an extreme rightist party, Tomio Okamura, officially apologised for having been “imprecise” when he claimed that people could walk in or out of the Lety concentration camp, and then doubled up: He cirted Jan Rataj, a history professor who alleges that the Protectorate’s “Gypsy Camps” were not concentration camps…
Roma organisations have filed a crime report against Okamura. Let’s see if anything happens.

Three members of a Sinti family were arrested near Rome for robbery and kidnapping.

Poland: Adam Bartosz

Published by:

An interview of Adam Bartosz, Activist, on why the Roma Holocaust is so little known in Poland. This was recorded in Lithuania on a commemoration of the Holocaust and the inauguration of a novel depicting the Holocaust through the eyes of a young Rom.
What Adam Bartosz forgets to say is that speaking of bad things can bring the Evil back, and hence, many Polska Roma simply never spoke about it, not even to their families.
