Exhibition on Rroma Holocaust
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.

Jews and Serbs have boycotted the celebrations of the liberation of the Croatian Concentration camp of Jasenovac on Friday the 22 of April.

Jasenovac
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.

Stolpersteine
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 …
