Although there were articles on the subject before and after 1 September 2010, that day, the daily La Jornada, Mexico, published one of great impact, "The Gypsy Holocaust: Past and Present," which recalls a really dramatic story. Without adding or removing a single word of information offered, I selected the text of the content items that reflect facts really touching, which the West and, especially, the colossal media machine, no says a word.
"In 1496: the rise of humanist thought. The Roma people (Gypsies) from Germany, are declared traitors to the Christian countries, spies in the pay of the Turks, carriers of the plague, witches, bandits and kidnappers of children.
"1710: Age of Enlightenment and reason. An edict ordering that the Roma adults in Prague will be hanged without trial. Young people and women are mutilated. In Bohemia, they cut the left ear. In Moravia the right ear.
"1899: climax of modernity and progress. Bavarian police Special Branch created Roma affairs. In 1929, the section was upgraded to National Central, and moved to Munich. In 1937, he moved to Berlin. Four years later, half a million gypsies died in concentration camps in central and Eastern Europe. "
" In his doctoral thesis Eva Justin (assistant to Dr. Robert Ritter, the racial investigation section of the German Health Ministry ), stated that the gypsy blood was extremely dangerous for the purity of the German race. And a Dr. Portschy sent a memorandum to Hitler by suggesting that they were put to forced labor and mass sterilization, because it threatened the pure blood of the German peasantry.
"criminal Qualified inveterate, Roma began to be arrested en masse, and in 1938 they were interned in special blocks in the camps of Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Gusen, Dautmergen, Natzweiler and Flossenburg.
"In a field which belonged to Ravensbruck, Heinrich Himmler, head of the Gestapo (SS), created a space to kill the Gypsy women were subjected to medical experiments. Sterilized at 120 girls gypsy. At the hospital in Duesseldorf-Lierenfeld were sterilized married to non-Roma Gypsies.
"Roma Thousands more were deported from Belgium, Holland and France to the Polish camp of Auschwitz. In his memoirs, Rudolf Hoess (commandant of Auschwitz) that among the deported Roma had nearly century-old old, pregnant women and many children.
"In the ghetto of Lodz (Poland) [...] none of the 5,000 Gypsies survived."
"In Yugoslavia, it is run like gypsies and Jews in the forest Jajnice. Farmers still remember the screams of Roma children taken to places of execution. "
" In the camps, only the love of Roma music was sometimes a comfort. In Auschwitz, hungry and full of lice, would gather to play and encouraged children to dance. But it was also the courage of the legendary Roma guerrillas were active in the Polish resistance in the region of Nieswiez. "
Music was the factor that kept them the unity that helped them survive, as Christians, Jews and Muslims was religion.
La Jornada, in successive articles from late August, cooled almost forgotten events of what happened with the gypsies in Europe, affected by the Nazis, were forgotten after the Nuremberg trial of 1945-1946.
The German government of Konrad Adenauer declared that the extermination of the Roma before 1943, was due to State legal policy, those affected this year not received compensation. Robert Ritter, an expert on the Nazi extermination of the Gypsies, was released, 39 years later, in 1982, when most people had died, was that he recognized their right to compensation.
More than 75 percent of the Roma, estimated between 12 and 14 million live in Central and Eastern Europe. Only Tito's socialist Yugoslavia the Gypsies were recognized with the same rights as minorities Croatian, Albanian and Macedonian.
The Mexican press agency described as "particularly vicious" the mass deportation of Gypsies to Romania and Bulgaria, ordered by Sarkozy's government Hungarian-Jewish origin, "they are the exact words that qualifies. Do not be taken as a disrespect me.
In Romania, the number of Roma is estimated at two million people.
that country's President, Traian Basescu, a U.S. ally and NATO member illustrious described as "filthy Gypsy" to a journalist. As shown, a person extremely sensitive, and polite language.
website Univision.com, said the demonstrations against the expulsion of Roma and "xenophobia" in France. About "130 demonstrations were to take place in France and French embassies in front of several European Union countries, with the support of dozens of human rights organizations, trade unions and leftist parties and environmentalists, "reported the AFP news agency. The extensive release speaks of the participation of well known personalities from the worlds of culture as Jane Birkin and the filmmaker Agnes Jaoui, recalling that the first "took part, along with former resistance against the Nazi occupation of France (1940-1944) Stephane Hessel , the group subsequently met with advisers to Immigration Minister Eric Besson.
"'It was a dialogue of the deaf, but it is good to have taken place to show that much of the population gets angry nauseating to this policy, "said a spokesman for Network Education Without Borders ..."
Other news on the thorny issue, arrive in Europe: The European Parliament yesterday put in the pillory [public] to France and Nicolas Sarkozy by repatriation of thousands of gypsies from Romania and Bulgaria in a tense debate that was described as outrageous and ridiculous the attitude of José Manuel Durão Barroso and the Commission for his apparent cowardice and failure to condemn as illegal and contrary to Community law decisions Paris ", reports The País.com in an article by Ricardo Martinez Herrod.
The newspaper La Jornada published in another of his articles, the impressive social fact that neonatal mortality of the Roma population is nine times the European average life expectancy barely exceeds 50 years.
Earlier, on August 29, had reported that "although there have been a criticism-both from the institutions of the European Union (EU) and the Catholic Church, the UN and the wide range of pro-immigrant organizations - Sarkozy insists expel and deport hundreds of citizens of Bulgaria and Romania, European citizens and therefore, under the guise of allegedly has a 'criminal' for these citizens. "
"It is difficult to believe that in 2010, "concludes La Jornada, after the terrible past of Europe in the field of racism and intolerance, it is still possible to criminalize an entire ethnic group through its marking as a social problem."
"Indifference or even the welcome against the actions of the French police today, Italy yesterday, more European
generally leaves you speechless to the most optimistic analysts. "
Suddenly, while writing this reflection, I remembered that France is the world's third nuclear power, and that Sarkozy was also a case with the keys to launch one of the more than 300 bombs have. Does have a moral and ethical sense to launch an attack on Iran, condemning the alleged intention to make a weapon of this kind? Where is the sanity and logic of this policy? Suppose
Sarkozy suddenly goes crazy, as seems to be what is happening. What would then the Security Council United Nations Sarkozy and his briefcase?
What if the French extreme right decides to oblige Sarkozy to hold a racist policy at odds with the norms of the European Community?
Could you answer the Security Council of the UN these two questions? The
absence of truth and the prevalence of lying is the greatest tragedy in our dangerous nuclear age.
