80 years since the deportation of Roma and Sinti to Hamburg

On May 16, 1940, at 6:00 a.m. in Hamburg, Roma and Sinti were arrested by the criminal police, and taken to the then Belzec concentration camp in a section marked as Baraka C.

 

This means that the Holocaust (Poraimos) against the Roma and Sinti began on May 20, 1940 with the first deportation train.

 

There were two more deportations of Roma and Sinti from Hamburg and nine to Auschwitz. The first on March 11, 1943 and April 26, 1944.

The deportation of Roma and Sinti was also during World War II throughout Germany and many European countries. Of these, over 90% ended up being fatal for Roma and Sinti.

 

This persecution of Roma and Sinti has not been recognized for a long time. It was not until 1982 that the first persecution in Hamburg was fought over a commemorative event in Hamburg.

 

Due to the situation with the coronavirus this year at the 80th anniversary of the event, it will not be possible to celebrate the event en masse, but still a small delegation will light a candle and lay wreaths at the Roman cemetery "Dibstaich" in Hamburg.

USAID and UNICEF: 1,600 hygiene packages for Roma communities in BiH

USAID BiH Director Nancy J. Eslik and UNICEF Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Roonak Khan, presented donations - hygiene packages to the Roma community in the Malo Chajno neighborhood in the Municipality of Visoko.

 

This donation from USAID and UNICEF was given to the most vulnerable populations in response to urgent requests from governments at all levels. It costs about $ 500,000.

 

"Roma children and communities are among the most vulnerable in socio-economic circumstances. There are major differences between Roma and other populations when it comes to basic social services coverage, including vaccination.

 

According to the latest comprehensive data, the total immunization of Roma children was only 4 percent, "said UNICEF Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ronak Khan.

 

In the next few weeks, about 1,600 Roma families across BiH will receive these hygiene packages, UNICEF said.

Wood thieves caused a major incident on Sunday. Police officers with 7 police vehicles barely calmed down the crowd on Radanski Pat in Stip.

Wood thieves on Sunday - May 10, on Radanski Pat in Stip caused a big incident after the forest police tried to stop a overloaded Lada with trees…

 

According to a police statement, the thieves did not stop but fled. Forest police tried to get closer, but they started waving trees.

 

Police first arrived with two vehicles, but more people arrived at the scene, and police called for reinforcements. Five more police vehicles arrived, to which the Roma responded by arriving with a larger group of about 150 Roma.

 

Then there was real chaos, which fortunately did not cause a major incident.

Police are working to complete the case and criminal charges will be filed against the perpetrators.

 

The forest police said that they will go to every yard to determine the identity of the trees that will be found.

 

The fine for owning unmarked trees is 3,500 euros. The forest police is sending an appeal to the citizens not to buy stolen wood and not to stimulate the wood thieves.

Hungarian top court confirms Roma unlawfully segregated, awards damages

A Hungarian school unlawfully segregated minority Roma students for years, the country’s top court said in a final ruling on Tuesday, granting 100 million forints ($310,000) in compensation to the children’s families.

 

Nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is at odds with the European Union for his perceived erosion of the rule of law, hinted in January that the state should disobey any court order to pay restitution to the Roma and provide training instead.

The Kuria (Supreme Court) case involved an elementary school in Gyongyospata, a town that has been a flashpoint of ethnic tensions in the past.

 

“The supreme legal forum upheld... (an earlier) ruling which mandated a 100 million forint damages payment,” the Kuria said in a statement. “Students from the Roma ethnic minority were unlawfully segregated and given substandard education.”

 

The ruling was a “bad decision which upends social peace as it unilaterally and overhwelmingly punishes a whole town for the real or imagined grievances of a minority”, Laszlo Horvath, Orban’s special envoy on resolving Roma issues, told national news agency MTI in a video message.
