Croatia: Jews and Serbians Boycott Jasenovac Celebrations

juin 8, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

Jews and Serbs have boycotted the celebrations of the liberation of the Croatian Concentration camp of Jasenovac on Friday the 22 of April. This is an infamous concentration camp where many Jews and Rroma were exterminated by Croatian Ustasha. Jews and Serbians are protesting against the rehabilitation in Croatia of people associated with this regime and crimes.

Switzerland: Jenische and Rroma

juin 7, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

Swiss Jenische, interviewed on Swiss TV. Bad. Rroma – called here “transit travelers” – are dirty, leaving camping spots dirty, etc.

The Jenische are right to demand spots to camp in each of the Swiss cantons. It is bad that this hasn’t happened yet.

French Chronicle …

juin 7, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

And the spring comes, and camps are dismantled or at least threatened … The French constant. In Ris Orangis, near Paris, a camp was dismantled; in Annet sur Marne, the tribunal will decide on May 6^th about the camp, a camp which has neighbours up in arms; in Lyon, a new camp in the city; in the North, Rroma are being displaced to a new location in Vauban amidst opposition; and near Paris, a commune searches for a solution for sedentarised travellers.

Meanwhile, former residents of a camp in Paris are looking for a new address; and mayors in several cities in France are really increasing their racist rhetoric. Finally, a Bulgarian death in a camp lands in front of the justice – with the usual background of “human trafficking”.
