13 juni 1938: The start of "Roma clean - up week"

On 13 June 1938 German police began a week of operations against Roma and Sinti people in Germany.

By 18 June over 1,000 Roma and Sinti had been arrested and deported to concentration camps.  What has now become known as ‘Gypsy Clean-up Week’ was the beginning of an increasingly extreme programme against the Roma and Sinti community that led ultimately to their mass murder in Nazi death camps.

The impetus for the ‘clean-up’ action against the Roma and Sinti people had come from the Decree on the Fight to Prevent Crime, a 1937 law enacted by the Nazis.  Both in Imperial and Weimar Germany, Roma and Sinti people had often been the victims of legal persecution.  

They were attacked for their itinerant way of living that did not conform to German norms, and for allegedly being prone to criminal activities.  After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Roma and Sinti people were subject to a host of restrictions that targeted ‘asocial’ groups.  As part of the 1937 Decree, they were forced to register permanent addresses.  Failure to do so, or migration from a registered address, would result in arrest and deportation to concentration camps.

In the event, some of the Roma and Sinti people arrested during the ‘clean-up’ week had complied with laws imposed on them; they were arrested simply to demonstrate a tough stance on the part of local police.  Many would later be murdered as Nazi persecution of the Roma and Sinti population intensified and spread across Europe.  

In Germany, several months after ‘Gypsy Clean-up Week’, in June 1938, the Nazis arrested and deported over 30,000 Jews during Kristallnacht.  For both Jews and Roma and Sinti people, the year 1938 witnessed a major escalation of violence against them in Germany, to such an extent that it may be seen as a point of no return on the path to the Nazi extermination programme.

Croatia: "Not all Roma would be in a bad voice when the court would shut down the criminals. Not much."

"Croats do not like neighbors, they do not give us jobs," Roma from 12 Roma settlements complain.

We need rehabilitation of the places where we live, to make children's playgrounds, to build cultural homes, kindergartens ... says Adam Orshosh, 48, who has completed his four-year term as president of the local board in the village of Pushkroviets in Medjugorje. It summarizes the work done, is not ashamed of the results, and concludes that it could have been much more done.

How satisfied he was that he was the president of a neighborhood that beat a "bad voice" in Croatia where it often had police intervention and which very rarely entered if they were not under complete military equipment.

- These are two or three who make the problems, but all of us, therefore, are responsible for the Roma. I know those guys who are delinquent I know their name and surname. They are always the same. This is also known by the police And these are juvenile delinquents aged 14 to 17 years.

Daily talk to them! I told them that it is necessary to punish parents. If parents were to be executed, that parent would not let that child commit a crime.

Every parent should know where his children are at all times. But crime is all around us, and so among the majority population, "Adem told the village where some 300 Roma live.

Sesvete-Croatia: They do not like them for neighbors and because of gasoline burnt the property that previously bought a Roma family

A 27-year-old resident of Podravska Sesvete struck a fire at a property last Thursday around 20.40 pm where no one currently resides on Braca Radic Street.
The suspicion was that the fire was deliberately subjected to the reason that the property had previously been bought by a Roma family from Djurdjevac.

With the quick intervention of the fire service, the fire was localized.
The material damage is about 800 euros, and the offender is detained.
The family of the perpetrator does not want to comment on this event, but the neighbors have confirmed that the possible motive for this incident is due to the "migration of Roma"

- That property is now quickly sold and bought by Roma, Someone obviously figured it out and the 27-year-old was the chief in that revolt because he publicly threatened to burn the house.

Owners of the property were shocked by the procedure and are already thinking of the previous owners from whom they bought the property to ask for a refund and to cancel the acquisition of this property.

- If it was him that we were Roma, he could immediately tell us when we came to look at the property, and we would not have bought it. Now we are afraid that it can repeat it, and I have four children and we have no certainty.

That's why we asked the previous owners for a second meeting to consider all the possibilities and see if it makes sense for us to stay in that place - said the Roma who bought that property.

Here is who stands behind the protest against a part of Roma who took the peaceful Medjimurce on the streets

The "I Want a Normal Life" protest in Čakovec on Saturday has already produced the first results.

Interior Minister Davor Božinović said that every local settlement would get their contact cop for month-two.

 

The first is a step in solving the problems that Međimurce is harassing for 20 years. And all started a 19-year-old. Who stands behind the protest against a part of Roma, who led the peaceful Međimurje on the streets, reveals our reporter Ružica Đukić.

 

The first move that led to the protest was withdrawn by a 19-year-old Facebook release.

"I am very happy with the response of people because they realized that nobody would come to Međimurje. Everyone initially told Alena and me: "There you will come, security, police, maybe 20-30 people and that will be it." And now we see how many people came, "organizer Tin Hrgovic said.

 

Asked if he would agree that after the protests was an extreme right, as some claim, he replied that he would not even know who he was referring to.

 

Aludiraju seems to be on it - because the People's Initiative activist decides - and on another organizer who also denied such allegations from the stage.

 

"That's ours, Croatia, you shared us with those red and blue, and that's the biggest problem. Politics has created this problem, politics has to solve this problem and solve it, "said Alen Pancer, the organizer of the protest.

 

The protest was also supported by the City of Čakovec and SDP's Mayor Stjepan Kovac.

"What is particularly rejoicable to me is that the Međimurje are working, self-confident," do not interfere ". I have to say that I am happy with the number of people who came and that is the last five to twelve that something needs to be changed, "said Stjepan Kovac, Mayor of Čakovec.

And change requires that the whole society be included in it.
