A never ending story since 20 years. A Pig farm on the site of the Lety concentration camp where many Rroma were deported from to Auschwitz and other death camps.
After 20 years, this could have been resolved …
It has been 20 years since the project started. There are now more than 60’000 spread all over Germany, remembering victims of the Holocaust and where they lived. They honoured Jews, Rroma, and others who were killed in the Nazi madness.
Let’s remember them all, and well done as a project!
Chilling …
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.
Bravo !
Some Rroma poetry for Jasenovac.
Let’s remember the victims. T’ovel lengo drom puterdo!
An action for the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust in Austria.
Good!
A memorial for Rroma Holocaust victims was destroyed in Poland.
SHAME! And may the dead plague the people who did this.
Jews and Serbs have boycotted the celebrations of the liberation of the Croatian Concentration camp of Jasenovac on Friday the 22 of April. This is an infamous concentration camp where many Jews and Rroma were exterminated by Croatian Ustasha. Jews and Serbians are protesting against the rehabilitation in Croatia of people associated with this regime and crimes.
A series of conferences on the “remembrance” focuses on the persecution of Rroma and Sinti in Nazi Germany.
Let us not forget.
Never forget!
A new permanent exhibition near Buchenwald has opened. A must see. Let’s not forget.
71 years ago to this day, the concentration camps of Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen were freed. May those who did not survive rest in peace.
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.
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 …
The city of Marburg in Germany remembered deported Sinti. The city’s mayor also expressed regrets at the current discrimination levels against Sinti and Rroma in Germany.
The Elie Wiesel Institute condemned the nomination of a Romanian journalist, Oana Stanciulescu, to the board of national television. She condemned the law that makes it a criminal offence to deny the Holocaust. Jews and Rroma were victims of the Holocaust in Romania…
No Comment.
Two Slovak MPs wore badges that looked similar to the yellow star worn by Jews during Nazi times to remind the country and protest against the party of Kotleba who is extreme right and pro-WWII Slovak leader. This party is extreme in its views of Rroma.
The German state of Bavaria is acting to preserve the graves of Rroma and Sinti Holocaust survivors. These were at risk as the families often could not pay for the renewal of the lease.
Good! May they rest in peace!
One of the really least researched, most populist articles in the Swiss press in a long time. Low concentration of facts and logic, high populist overtones.
Not acceptable. And by the way, the results of the study (see second article) are not acceptable either.
PROTEST!
