]]> Denied Memories. Roma and Sinti during the Second World War is the title of the meeting promoted by the Lav Romanò association, scheduled for Wednesday, February 11th at 6:00 PM at the Ubik bookshop in Cosenza.

A commemorative event dedicated to a chapter of history that has long remained marginalized in official history. The Nazi genocide of Roma and Sinti, deported to extermination camps, and the internment they suffered in Italy at the hands of the fascist state, remain rarely reported events.

]]> The book “Pueblo Gitano. 600 años de historia y cultura en España” [The Gitanos People: 600 Years of History and Culture in Spain] coordinated by Gonzalo Montaño, Joan M. Oleaque, and Arnau Vilaró, dismantles six centuries of silence, prejudice, and official narratives about Roma history.

Too bad they used the Gitanos name and not the endonym, “Cale”.

]]> A presentation of a new books about the Roma community “The Politics of Unbelonging” by authors Andreja Zevnik and Andrew Russell is being presented in the Provincial and Study Library of Murska Sobota, Slovenia.

The book shows, using examples from Slovenia and the EU, how national and European policies in practice consolidate the marginal status of Roma. Although Roma are constitutionally recognized in Slovenia, they lack actual political power for co-determination, which places them in a position of semi-inclusion. Media discourses and ineffective policies, often adopted without the participation of the Roma community, only exacerbate this situation.

]]> The Romano writer Michal Šamko did not have an easy childhood. His parents and siblings came from Svidník in Northeastern Slovakia, but he was born in Jičín, Czech Republic. “Gypsy filth,” they shouted at him in elementary school, where he was the only Rom among 23 children in their class. The biggest punishment for his classmates was to be made to sit next to him. Michal Šamko was determined to achieve something in life, and in the end he succeeded.
