Although several articles on this subject were published before and after September\u00a0 1st, 2010, on that day the Mexican daily La Jornada published one of great impact entitled El holocausto gitano: ayer y hoy (The gypsies’ holocaust: yesterday and today) which reminds us of a truly tragic history. Without adding or deleting a single word from the information contained in the article, I will quote some lines referring to some events that are really touching. Neither the West nor -most of all- its colossal media apparatus have said a single word about them.<\/p>\n
“1496: boom of humanist thinking.\u00a0 The Rom peoples (gypsies) from Germany are declared traitors to the Christian nations, spies paid by the Turkish, carriers of the plague, witches and warlocks, bandits and children kidnappers.<\/p>\n
“1710: century of Enlightenment and rationale.\u00a0 An edict ordered that adult gypsies from Prague be hanged without any previous trial. Young persons and women were mutilated. In Bohemia their left ear were cut off; in Moravia, their right ear.<\/p>\n
“1899: climax of modernity and progress.\u00a0 The police of Bavaria founded the Special Section for Gypsies’ Affairs.\u00a0 In 1929, the section was promoted to the category of National Central section and was moved to Munich.\u00a0 In 1937 it was based in Berlin.\u00a0 Four years later, half a million gypsies died in the concentration camps of Central and Eastern Europe.”<\/p>\n
“In her PhD’s thesis, Eva Justin (assistant of Dr. Robert Ritter of the Racial Research Section of the Ministry of Health of Germany), asserted that gypsies’ blood was extremely harmful to the purity of the German race. Someone called Dr. Portschy sent a memorandum to Hitler suggesting that gypsies should be submitted to forced labor and mass sterilization because they jeopardized the pure blood of the German peasantry.<\/p>\n
“The gypsies, who were labeled as inveterate criminals, started to be arrested en masse, and as from 1938 they were put into special blocks at the Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Gusen, Dautmergen, Natzweiler and Flossenburg camps.<\/p>\n
“In a concentration camp he owned in Ravensbruck, Heinrich Himmler, chief of the Gestapo (SS), created a space to sacrifice gypsy women who were submitted to medical experiments.\u00a0 One hundred and twenty zingari girls were sterilized.\u00a0 Gypsy women married to non-gypsy men were sterilized at the Dusseldorf-Lierenfeld hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
