Suspino, a Cry for Roma
The Roma, the largest minority in Europe, is also the most ill-treated. Scapegoats of the young democracies of Eastern Europe since1989, they have fled their country by the tens of thousands because of racism. In Romania, they are considered “public enemies” and in Italy they have the status of “nomads.” They live in camps where they are denied their basic rights. A Romanian mayor wants the rid his city of the Roma: he tries to have them moved to an abandoned farm surrounded by barbed wire and guard dogs. In Transylvania, a Rom family mourns three dead brothers murdered during a pogrom in which 21 of their houses were destroyed. In Italy, a young Rom couple living in a caravan camp six miles from the Vatican have to beg to feed their children. Human rights faced with 500 years of Rom bondage in Eastern Europe.
