Romani people and activists are currently holding a ceremony at Auschwitz-Birkenau to commemorate the Romani genocide. 80 YEARS AGO TODAY the Nazis liquidated the 'Gypsy family camp', murdering 4.300 people in a single night.

As stated in the article, almost 90% of Romani people from Bohemia and Moravia (Czech Republic) were killed during the Holocaust. Between 1939 and 1945, Nazis and their allies murdered 500.000 - 800.000 Romani people all across Europe, representing 25-50% of the global Romani prewar population.

August 2nd marks the International Day of Remembrance of the Roma Genocide Victims.

On the night of August 2-3, 1944, around 3,000 Roma prisoners were killed in gas chambers in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. It took 52 years for this day of remembrance to be established, which was spearheaded by leaders of Roma organizations from 10 European countries and the USA.

Ukraine has observed this day since 2004. In this remembrance, there are 140 places of mass execution of Roma by the Nazis in Ukraine.

Babyn Yar was one of them. In September 2016, a memorial monument was put in place of a Roma tent covered in bullet holes from machine gun fire.

"Babyn Yar is a horror for Gypsies. They died without even knowing what they were being killed for,” says Roma writer Rani Romani (Raisa Nabaranchuk),whose grandmother died there.

On this day, the Holodomor Museum reminds us that, "it is crucial to emphasize again that human life is of the highest value, and human rights require unquestionable observance. Disrespecting and neglecting them leads to the gravest crimes."

How to Donate to the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem

As many of you may know, the Domari community in Palestine is suffering alongside native Palestinians in the genocidal campaign headed by Israel.

Though we do not know much of the Domari's struggles in detail, I can only imagine it is the same extent as the Palestinians' struggles.

The Domari Society was founded by director Amoun Sleem in 2000 and since then she and her staff have done incredible things for the Domari, including providing resources and education to women and children.

On the Domari Society website, there is information on how to send donations via bank transfer, but considering that their main avenue may not be the most accessible to share and donate, I am making this post providing a step-by-step guide on how to donate to the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem.

This method works only if you have a PayPal and/or Xoom account (Xoom is owned by PayPal so if you only have PP, you can still donate.)

Step-by-Step:

Click this [link] here. It will take you to Xoom's page for sending money to Israel (Jerusalem is occupied by Israel, so it must be through them). Make sure you are signed in to either Xoom or PayPal.

Enter a minimum amount of 35.66 shekels (minimum 10.01 USD) to send. Click (Send Now) to progress to the next page.

3. Confirm information on screen and click (Next).

4. Select (Bank Deposit) and click (Next).

5. When selecting a bank, click (Other) and it will bring you to a page where you must enter the IBAN number of the bank you want to send money to. The IBAN for the Domari Society's bank is IL040176380000002503877 (copy and paste this exactly). Confirm that the bank is Mercantile Discount Bank Ltd and click (Next).

6. Enter in contact information. It is as follows: First Name: Domari Last Name: Society Address 1: Shua'fat, Derech Shua'fat 10 City: Jerusalem Phone Number: +97225324510 Email: domarisociety@gmail.com

7. Enter any information required and choose your payment option. On the last page, confirm the information listed and if everything is correct, click (Send).

Bank transfer may take a few days, but congratulations! You just donated to the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem. Know that your contribution will go towards the betterment of the Domari in Palestine.

Also, most information is found on the Domari Society's website, so if you wish to confirm that the donation is legitimate you can check the bank details here: [link]

Please share this whether you donate or not, it could mean life or death for Dom under occupation. May we all see a day where our people are safe. Te aven baxtalo 💙❤️💚
