French Chronicle …

Published by:

Paris, Marseilles and Bordeaux in the news, little from the North this week. In Paris, the camp on the tracks of the petite ceinture train will be close (once again), dislodging several hundred people; in the Suburbs, in Villeneuve St. Georges, a clean-up and an anti-racism action; in Marseille, still no respite, with one evacuation in La Parette and in la Pauline, all the while with the church stating they would like to see a decent solution to the issues with Roma; in Bordeaux, the city wants to integrate Roma; in the North, probably for lack of Roma the travellers do the headline; and finally, an article about the winter respite that should already be in place in France.

The television children movie called “Nellie’s Adventures” in the German TV is getting a lot of critique for its representation of Sinti and Roma, which, to say the least are presented in a stereotypical fashion: They are petty criminals, con men, or beggars.
The Central Council of Sinti and Roma calls it racist and they are right.

Lety at Last

Published by:

Two US articles on Lety and the fact that the Czech government will finally buy the pig farm on the site.
Unfortunately, both articles contain misleading information. That 1’300 Roma were sent to Auschwitz from there, that there were 10’000 Roma in the Czech Republic before the War etc. Fact is that many people who were shipped to Auschwitz were not registered, and that no one knows how many Roma there was in the Czech Republic before the war.
One thing though is sure: After the War, there were none left.
May they rest in peace.
