Slovakia: Project in Need

Published by:

The children’s Roma dance troupe “Romano Jilo” from Zvolen has severe problems. Firstly, with finances, but also with space for rehearsals. The group travelled to several international events with children from a socially excluded community. About 30 children work in the Romano Jilo ensemble, most of them coming from poor backgrounds and from marginalized groups from around Zvolen.

Czech Republic: Extremism

Published by:

About seventy protesters, around fifty of them Roma, gathered in front of the Government Office for a demonstration called by David Mezei, a very controversial Romano leade. The participants expressed their disapproval of the current government and the presence of Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic. In addition to Mezei, the speakers also included Miroslav Tancoš, the chairman of the Roma Democratic Party, which has suspended its activities, and Denis Novák from the Round Table Alliance.

It is sad to see that some Roma are playing into the hands of extremists following the two attacks in the Czech Republic.

A documentary will be presented in Warsaw on July 15th. It is the last interview given by Krystyna Gil (1943-2021), Witness of History and Guardian of the Memory of the Roma Holocaust, before her death. She was a well-known activist and leader, and for many years the president of the Roma Women’s Association in Poland. On January 20, 2021, Krystyna Gil was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. As the Consul General of Germany, Michael Gross, wrote in the letter announcing the award, the award honours her many years of work for “intergenerational, future-oriented dialogue, universal values and for all the content that you, as a Witness of History, have been providing for years”.
