Poland: Litzmannstadt Ghetto

Published by:

Poland commemorated the 75th anniversary of the liquidation of the Rroma camp in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto. In the Litzmannstadt Ghetto (created by the occupation authorities in February 1940), a very small area was separated as a Gypsy camp (Zigeunerlager). More than 5,000 Roma and Sinti deported from Burgenland on the border between the Austro-Hungarian were interned there. The camp was separated from the Ghetto by double barbed wire and deep moat, and the windows were boarded. In such terrible conditions Rroma – most of which were small children – had no chance of survival. There was immediately a typhus epidemic broke out, which decimated the population. On January 5, 1942, the Nazis began deportation to the extermination camp at Chelmno on the Ner. Within a week Gypsy camp was liquidated. Not a single person survived.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Almost no news this week in France on Rroma… In Paris, on the tracks of the former “petite ceinture” railways, the camps are waiting for the ruling that will most probably see them dismantled for the second time in as many years; in the South, a “western” about prostitution – on a regional road where many prostitutes wait for their clients, who are now criminal under French law; the story of the cheap modular village thought by students goes one; and finally, associations denouncing the stereotypes that are propagated by politicians and the Press. This is good for a change.
