An interview of a Rroma activits on the Rroma Holocaust in the Ukraine where many Rroma were killed, most simply shor on the spot by German troops. And a side note on how to call the Holocaust – certainly not Porajmos which isu usally used as sexual assault.
In each Rroma family in the Ukraine, there have been victims of the Holocaust. Let’s not forget them!

May these people rest in peace and eternity.

Germany has agreed to compensate the Czech Rroma who survived the Holocaust. Good, but it will not ruin Germany: 71 years after the end of the War, not many are still alive. And anyhow not many survived in the Czech lands.
A short apology from the Czech would be nice, as they deported the Rroma themselves, in 1941.

The article is correct on the Holocaust and the persecution of Rroma in Germany by the Nazis, but on Rroma itself, the author has obviously no idea. He speaks of two main “tribes”, the Rroma and the Sinti for one. Please inform yourself prior to writing.
