Holocaust: The ‘Devouring’ of the Czech Roma

A staggering 95 percent of the Czech-born Romani and Sinti population perished in the war, most through extrajudicial killings

Apology
Please forgive us.  This occurred during period of frenzy, and I know if any race is worthy of reverence appreciation is you Rroma, who are truly special.   I am haunted by the racial memory, and your ancestors who were devoured come to me to preach the reality of their own aryan heritage, and actually not the germanpeople.  It was a period of backwards seeking.   Aryan is "olive eye", the mystery of those meek inheritors, and not the sometime proud and sometime vacant blue eyes. Mary Shelley, even in her fictional frankenstein had foretold of the jealousy, for my peoples had seen the spark of life and wished for impartation on themselves, an impossible feat.   Am I the only one who is unashamed, in my oceanic guilt to admit the nature of my race''s sin?  The taste of technology is the bland salt, and I long for the actual harmony.  It involves an reappraisal of cultural values, and the difficult choice to extend honestly ourselves for the uplifting of all people, but we cannot ignore.   I pray for the day that the outsiders will be the central, the day that the Stones who were rejected, you the Rromani, will be found the altar and consecrate a new foundation of societal teaching.  It must be founded on music, harmony, world brotherhood, charity.   Am I the only one, then I would bear all of the shame that still renders this faith flat in the philosophy and practice of the german peoples.  I am sorry; they were jealous and did not know.

Thank you
Thank you, Czech Position, for this informative article. I did not know much about the subject of the Roma Holocaust. It is horrible. But also important to learn about, important to know, and important to remember.

Statistics
The Czech Roma do make up a disproportionately high percentage of the prison population in this country. Which media are "concealing" this?That said, do you seriously want to suggest that the so-called "Roma terror" has claimed the lives of some 325 Czechs each year since WW2 ended (equal to the 22,000 Roma killed at Auschwitz)? Here are the facts: Czech homicide statistics have been compiled since 1974. The number of murders reached a peak in 1998 at 313 homicides. When a Roma person murders a white Czech (or vice versa) it is national news -- because this is such a rare occurence.In any case, the article was not about modern crime rates but about a historical atrocity, and I''m afraid that your comments could be interpreted to imply that these innocent victims of the Holocaust deserved their fate.Brian Kenety

Roma murderers
I''m afraid that the Roma terror and crime since the end of WW2 has had more innocent Czech victims than the whole "Porjamos". Currently more than 60% of all prisoners in the Czech Republic are ethnic Roma, but they''re just a tiny fraction of the Czech population - about 3%. But all media conceal these facts.

A stupid racist comment
This comment from "Smaug" is a stupid, racist comment. Smaug obviously is one of those people who is ignorant and wants to stay ignorant. I am sorry that people like "Smaug" exist in the Czech Republic. They are an embarrassment to all good Czech people.
