We protect historical facts through active remembrance of the Roma Victims

2023-07-31

On August 2, we commemorate the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Sinti and Roma when we remember the victims of persecution, terror, and genocide against the Roma people throughout Europe. Between 250,000 and 500,000 European Roma perished in the violence and mass murders during the Second World War. Join the campaign #ProtectTheFacts. This initiative against the distortion and abuse of the history of the Holocaust and the genocide of the Roma in the Second World War is supported by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), the European Commission, ODIHR, the United Nations, and UNESCO.

Why Terraforming?

Terraforming (”Earth‐shaping”) is a term from astronomy, defining the theoretical process of deliberately modifying the atmosphere, temperature or topography of a new planet, to make it habitable by humans.

But before we start changing other planets, we believe that it is our World that needs to be “terraformed” first, making it a better place, with more empathy and love, with genuine respect for human rights, equality and freedom.

We are trying to give our small contribution to that kind of "terraforming" of our World.
