4.0 out of 5 stars another holocaust--prevented this time--just barely, August 4, 2005

This review is from: Persecution of Gypsies in Romania (Paperback)

The tragedy of the Romania gypsies of the 1980"s, like the Jews

of Europe in the 1940s, and the people of Rwanda in the 1990s,

is that unless "one's personal ox" is being gored, then no one

cares. Indeed, there was an effort exterminate the Gysies of

Romania, and produce a "pure Romanian-Thracian race", as late as

1989. I saw this in early 1989, as I was in Bucharest, the

Romanian capital. Only the Revolution of December of 1989,

prevented another European Holocaust--with Gysies of Romania

being the victims of mass genocide. The orphans of the

slain Gypsies are growing up in a new and democratic Romania,

but Gypsies still are, at best, third-class citizens.

Unlike the Jews, who have the State of Israel to speak up them,

the Gypsies have NO Gypie State to flee to.

The near-Holocaust of the Gypsies of Rumania MUST NOT be

forgotten.

Accordingly;

I recommend The Persecution of the Gypsies in Romania, as an

excellent book, and yet, this book should be a WARNING about

the tragedy of State-sponsored genocide.

Come on!....Persecution?...If you ever were in Romania, just once, you couldn't write a book with such a title. I invite you all to come here and to see with your own eyes.
