Roma push France to recognise the Holocaust-era genocide.
Young Roma in France have launched a campaign calling on the state to officially recognise the genocide of Roma and Sinti people during World War II.
At the centre of their message are wartime letters written by their ancestors from internment camps – unanswered pleas for help sent to the French authorities.
History is a nightmare from which I am trying to escape.

#Putin, his army of 1 million russians and the 4 million russians working in their defence industry are mass murderers of the worst kind we have known in #history.
The #RussianFederation is the most disgusting group of #terrorists of the 21st century. They are an aberration in the human species today. A "society" of orcs bred to kill, lie, rape, torture and steal.
#russians are the biggest exporters of #death through their wars, terror attacks, and #FossilFuels criminal #mafia.

I'm a bit of a nerd when it come to maps depicting historical events and eras. Look at what I stumbled upon, this evening:
A page full of links for a LOT of lovely maps from the book, Historical Atlas, by William R. Shepherd, 1911

An outstanding #FRONTLINE #documentary about the Middle East and specifically the bitter rivalry between #SaudiArabia and #Iran. This was made in 2017 but it's still relevant (or course) today. So much fascinating information and #history; so much more than what we (Americans) get from the MSM or our government.
