Sleepwalking into a nightmare

In recent years Roma Gypsies have a seen a massive rise in Nazi ideology among the populations of Britain and Eastern Europe. With the press “Hate Campaigns” and government legislation regarding Gypsies, which look and feel more like pogroms rather than policies, Britain and Europe are fast hurtling towards National Socialism ideals and ideology at an alarming rate.

What little democracies and freedoms our people have enjoyed, are without a doubt, in their final death throes, if we do not draw together as a nation, then our flame as nation may one day indeed be extinguished forever. 

That flame was once nearly put out for all time during the Porraimos, Adolf Hitler’s merciless edicts saw the persecution of Roma and Jews reach a depravity of epic proportions during the height of World War II.

Sparing neither mother nor child, Roma were systematically hunted down and shot dead in the streets, those that were not shot, were latter interred into concentration and extermination camps, only to be choked to death in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Dachau and Bergen Belsen among many others that were scattered across the wide expanse of Europe.

When it began, there was no reprieve, no clemency and mercy was a liberty that belonged only in the hands of the SS officers who would cram as many Roma into the gas chamber as was possible. Wailing women, screaming children, the cries of mercy from the terrified, the pleas and tears of the old all fell on deaf eyes and cold uncaring eyes, bodies crushed together within the chamber.

With barely enough room to breathe, 800 bodies filled the chamber, still the guards squeezed in more, children were crushed to the roof as they were handed over the heads of other Roma in the chamber, till at last the chamber was filled.

Filled so much so, that the doors had to be screwed shut, then the gas was released into the chamber in huge hissing quantities, then the screams began…

If Germany, as educated and culturally advanced as it was prior to the events leading to the Porraimos, could be capable of the greatest mass murder in recorded history, then surely, no nation on earth is exempt.

Let us not be naïve in our thinking, let us not for another day longer, rely on the securities of broken promises and polices that are not worth the paper they are printed on, let us not wallow in denial.

There is a threat, and a very real and tangible danger.

It happened before. It could just as easily happen once again, and this time the flame of beloved people, the Roma, will surely be extinguished forever.

The night maybe closer than we think…

Let’s wake up…

Let’s arise…

Arise Roma.
