Why Croatian Jews Boycotted This Year’s Holocaust Remembrance Day
Croatia, Holocaust and Boycott This year, Jews again boycotted the Croatian commemorations of the Holocaust. Several Rroma organisations too, although several other did attend. An explanation of why this boycott: The history is being quietly rewritten in Croatia, and the crimes of the Ustasha and the murders they committed are being retouched. Rroma and Jews were their victims in camps such as the infamous Jasenovac. Why Croatian Jews Boycotted This Year’s Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Roma in Kosovo: The justice that never came
Kosovo and Justice Years after the end of the Kosovo war, Rroma still await justice for the crimes committed against them in that region by the UCK and Kosovo nationalists. They were evicted from their houses, killed, simply disappeared. And most of all, they were kicked out of their country, a country where they had stayed since their arrival more than 1000 years ago.

Expulsion avancée pour les Roms de la petite ceinture ?
French Chronicle More news this week in France. Worryingly, besides the usual expulsions, there are many news about criminal Rroma. This is really bad! In Paris, the Rroma camping on the petite ceinture railway and in a disaffected tunnel will have to go; near the Marne river, a controversy about garbage left by Rroma, and an action to clean the banks of the Marne; the story of a Rromni, Parashkeva, whose caravan was destroyed during an evacuation in the North of France in Loos; a view from above of a camp in Hellemes, also in the North of France; and an article about what happened to people whose camp was evacuated recently. Then, crime … In the North, where 4 Rroma were stealing because of hunger; two Rroma arrested in Germany in a truck stolen in Western France full of tools; 9 burglaries for a couple in the South; pickpockets in Montpellier; and another article about petty theft in the South. - Expulsion avancée pour les Roms de la petite ceinture ?
