Zigeunerschnitzel

Published by:

Germany has many dishes that are called “Zigeuner” or Gypsy. There have been calls to change these names. A restaurant owner in Wiesbaden indeed did this: Instead of Zigeunerschnitzel – a Gypsy steak – he re-labelled it “Sinti und Roma Schnitzel” – Sinti and Roma Steak. He now has a racism complaint against him.

If you ever Wondered …

Published by:

In case you ever wondered why Rroma were not recognised as Holocaust victims for a long time or why generally prosecution of war crimes in Germany was slow after the war, here is why …
The German Federal Justice Ministry was full of Nazi party members, in fact the overall majority.

Romani Rose: Scheuer is Racist

Published by:

The president of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose, accused Andreas Scheuer, the general Secretary of the CSU in Germany of racism. Scheuer has proposed to give preference to give preference to Christian refugees and migrants.
Romani Rose rightly accuses him of playing with “racist resentment” which is extremely dangerous.

Czech Survivors: So little – So late…

Germany will pay 2’500 Euro to Czech Rroma Holocaust survivors. Knowing how many effectively survived (actually almost no Czech Rroma did survive, most Rroma in the Czech Republic are originally from Slovakia, having been moved there by the communists right after the war) and the time passed, this is not going to ruin Germany.

It is almost an insult…
