Poland: Expulsions – Maybe …

Published by:

The story of the Limanowa housing estate is still going on. The mayor of that city wanted to evict Roma from a building in the centre of town without providing any alternatives. This has been dragging on in courts ever since the Ombudsman started legal proceedings against the municipality.
This is now in the last instance … Let’s see.

Puławy – Poland

Published by:

Following the beating by 4 Roma of the owner of a Pizzeria (Desperado), an editorial in the local Newspaper went into a total rant against all Roma.
To cite: “Until now, the Roma were tolerated in Puławy, although they do absolutely nothing to deserve it. They are shameful and demanding. Everyone lives on pensions, and it is not not known on what basis these are granted by the doctors …”
Bad.

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.
