Babi Yar

septembre 1, 2017 Published by: RF

September is the month to commemorate the victims of the massacre at Babi Yar where Jews but also many Roma were brutally executed by the German troops.
No memorial to this day really mark the site. A new attempt is being started to be completed in time for the 80th anniversary of this massacre.

Disneyland Roma

septembre 1, 2017 Published by: RF

The trial of the Romanian Roma (and a few others) who picked the pockets of tourists in the Disneyland near Paris (and apparently made 1 Mio EUR) is in full swing. According to the journalist, it is worthy of a Kusturica movie.
The article is good with one exception – the use of “clan” in this context. One family is definitively not a clan – and this term is abused in the European Press in the context of Roma.
