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!
An initiative by the government of Hessen aims at teaching children about Sinti and Rroma in Germany, and the overall role of discrimination and the need to fight against segregation.
Good!
A series of articles was published in Italy in the context of the remembrance day of the Holocaust on the 27th of January, explaining that Rroma were also singled out by the Nazis during World War Two. This is not well known in Italy, so GOOD!
Some pictures about Rroma during World War Two, pictures taken by German soldiers.
Several Articles on the Holocaust Remembrance Day.
