Czech housing estate now home to 80 Romani refugees from Ukraine, local Romani community aiding them with food

About 80 Romani refugees from Ukraine have been accommodated in the Hamerský mlýn residential hotel on the Janov housing estate in Litvínov, Czech Republic since 15 April; according to the facility operator, it is not entirely true that not enough food has been made available there. The operator admits that initially just basic foodstuffs were prepared for the refugees, and he also alleges that he was never informed that there would be children in the group. 

Additional food for the refugees has been provided by local Romani volunteers. "These people arrived at night between 10 o'clock and two o'clock in the morning, on two buses, and the composition of the group was absolutely diametrically opposed to what we had been told," the operator described the arrival of the refugees to the Romea.cz news server.

Holocaust & Humanity Center Receives Transformational $18 Million Gift

Cincinnati (April 13, 2022) The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center is thrilled to announce a transformational gift from an anonymous donor in the amount of $18 million, to accelerate programming and support our endowment, ensuring sustainability for the future.

The gift will enable the institution to maintain and grow its award-winning museum at the highest standard, expand offerings to include more family and youth leadership programming, in addition to fostering greater reach. 

Sarah L. Weiss, the chief executive officer of the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, said the generous donation will bolster the organization’s ambitious goals to draw museum visitors from across the nation while being known as one of the top museums in Cincinnati.

“This gift comes at a time when the world needs HHC’s mission more than ever. Sadly, we need not look any further than our daily newspaper to know that the future of humanity is at a crossroads,” Weiss said. “To meet the moment, HHC is committed to creating a community of upstanders based on the lessons of the Holocaust. We are profoundly grateful to the donors’ commitment to our mission and their call-to-action to gain broader support from the community for our work. This is a crucial time. Every person, every dollar brings us one step closer to building the community we want our children to inherit.”

Who would accept Ukrainian Roma as refugees?

Ukrainian Roma war refugees face a lack of friendship and a violation of international conventions when entering and staying in Western countries.

Ukrainian refugees of Roma ethnicity occasionally receive a hellish welcome at the "gates of paradise" if we want to declare the European Union a paradise because of this joke. At the end of February, the European Roma Rights Center (ERRC) published the story of a woman named Agnes from the Ukrainian city of Beregovo who, together with her two minor children, tried in vain to enter Hungary several times at the Beregsurani border.

At the first attempt, a Ukrainian border guard barred her from crossing the border, explaining her actions with rumors that Ukrainian Roma were abusing the Hungarian social security system and engaging in begging.

Agnes reported the case to the ERRC, which requested clarification from the border authorities. It was officially answered that the Ukrainian border guards were not instructed to allow anyone to leave Ukraine, provided they had the legal right to leave, and were not primarily recruits. The Ukrainian border service also told Agnes through the ERRC to try again.

In the second attempt she was rejected with a similar explanation. After a new report to the ERRC, she tried to cross from Ukraine to Hungary for the third time, but recorded the development on her mobile phone. She, of course, wanted to gather evidence of discriminatory treatment. Ukrainian border police have threatened to arrest and confiscate her belongings if she continues to film members of the Ukrainian army.

Only on Monday, February 27, in the fourth attempt, Agnes and her children managed to cross the border into the European Union.

The ERRC comments that Agnes's experience illustrates the insecurity that Roma refugees may face when trying to escape the war in Ukraine. The Ukrainian authorities themselves, as well as the authorities in other countries, including the European Union, are inclined to the stereotype that the Roma are not "real refugees".

Serbia: Raspberry pickers are offered a daily wage of 40 euros, but no one wants to do this job

Social networks, portals and newspapers in Serbia are full of ads looking for raspberry pickers.

Raspberry growers, fearing that their business will fail because there is no one to reap the rewards, offer better and better conditions. Thus, this year's per diem will probably be as much as 40 euros or 15 euros more than last year.

The raspberry grower from Ivanjica, Miodrag Sretenovi., Has been unsuccessfully searching for pickers for thirty days, and he placed the ad on one of the most read portals in western Serbia.

"Along with the per diem, I offer accommodation and food, but no one will work. "My plantation covers an area of ​​about 50 acres, which is not that much, so imagine how much the owners of larger plots are still afraid," Sretenovic explained to Novosti, assuming that the price of raspberries would exceed 5 euros per kilogram. this year, although some buyers say they will go up to 8 euros, which would be a record. Most of those seasonal raspberry pickers are Roma
