Germany: Exhibition

Published by:

The exhibition “Race Diagnosis: Gypsy”  will be held from February 23 to March 23 in the state parliament in Mainz, Germany.

The exhibition on the genocide of the Sinti and Roma shows the history of their persecution from the exclusion and disenfranchisement of the minority in the German Reich to their systematic annihilation in occupied Europe. In addition, the history of the survivors of the Holocaust, who were only later recognized as victims of the Nazis, is dealt with. At the end there is an outlook on the human rights situation of the Sinti and Roma in Europe after 1989.

The story of a small town in the mountains which, 10 years ago had several Roma settlements on the outskirts of the town, where Roma did not attend school, with high unemployment. Thanks to the effort of a social worker Markéta Horneková, who developed a community centre so that the children had somewhere to spend their time meaningfully after school and built a team of field workers from local skilled Roma who were eager to make a difference, huge progress was made.

With the mayor also pitching in, the situation has totally changed ten years later.

Well done.

Well, if you are Rom, you will be confronted in racism in the administration, or at least to discrimination.  Milena Ademović can come up with a long list: unnecessary documents that are required, letters that get lost in the administration or child benefit applications that the parents who come to her have to wait a year for to be processed. “That’s why we’re here,” says Ademović, who, as a social worker at the Kulturen im Kiez advice centre in Wedding, also supports Sinti and Roma in their dealings with the authorities.
