More of the overlooked losers in the holocaust lists.
Those without political clout are never heard about.
What a legacy Hitler left behind :(
I wonder why there's no mention of what has happened to the Roma at the hands of the KLA-types in Clinton's Kosovo Quagmire?
These are the lesser known victims of the Holocaust. Unlike the Jewish people, they have not produced spokesmen to make world know about the catastrophe they went through. We, Jews, have much in common with them throughout history: every country that expelled Jews expelled Roma as well. This included Isabella the Catholic, who in 1492 infamously expelled both Roma and Jews from Spain, with greatly tragic consequences for both. In Romania, they were legally enslaved until 1880s. And, the Nazis too were looking for Jews, Gypsies, and communists -- in that order --- in every village they took.
My heart goes to these people, who suffered throughout history so much. The world need to know more about their fate --- and continuing prejudice and persecution in Eastern Europe.
I know of a Roma woman who was a very small child in one of the camps. She managed to survive, but lost her family. When she was a teen, she had the the tattoo burned off, so she now has a really ugly scar.
Anyhow, she how lives in NY. No one I know loves this country and the freedom it has given her (to be an eccentric old woman) more than her. Anytime someone starts whining, she always says "Chickies, I have seen worse. This is a walk in the park!"
