An exhibition on the Holocaust of Rroma in Bohemia and other Czech lands is opening this week. Good one speaks about it, as the Czech lands were nearly totally cleaned of Rroma in World War Two. And not all by German Nazis, by far not.
Some Rroma poetry for Jasenovac.
Let’s remember the victims. T’ovel lengo drom puterdo!
An action for the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust in Austria.
Good!

SHAME! And may the dead plague the people who did this.
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.

Let us not forget.
A new permanent exhibition near Buchenwald has opened. A must see. Let’s not forget.
The celebration of the commemoration of the evasion of more than 600 inmates of the notorious Croatian Deacth Camps Jacenovac were boycotted by Jewish organizations. Jews and Rroma were murdered in this camp by local Croatian Ustasha during World War Two. In Croatia, only ca. 20 (really!) Families survived the War.
The reason for the Boycott: The tendency to re-habilitate several Croatian key figures who contributed to these crimes.
An article about these little stones that commemorate victims of the Holocaust in several countries (there are by now 48’000 of these). The sculptor Gunter Demnig had the idea on the 50th anniversary of Himmler’s edict on the deportation of Roma and Sinti. Strangely enough, Minich still bans these stones …
The Elie Wiesel Institute condemned the nomination of a Romanian journalist, Oana Stanciulescu, to the board of national television. She condemned the law that makes it a criminal offence to deny the Holocaust. Jews and Rroma were victims of the Holocaust in Romania…
No Comment.
Two Slovak MPs wore badges that looked similar to the yellow star worn by Jews during Nazi times to remind the country and protest against the party of Kotleba who is extreme right and pro-WWII Slovak leader. This party is extreme in its views of Rroma.
The German state of Bavaria is acting to preserve the graves of Rroma and Sinti Holocaust survivors. These were at risk as the families often could not pay for the renewal of the lease.
Good! May they rest in peace!
A series of articles was published in Italy in the context of the remembrance day of the Holocaust on the 27th of January, explaining that Rroma were also singled out by the Nazis during World War Two. This is not well known in Italy, so GOOD!
