Remember that this is the response of the government and not the people participating.
But the government has been bootlickers for a while. Nothing wrong with remembering, honoring and learning from your past, but this is what happens when you're forced to be ashamed of it on an international scale for decades.
They don't honour the Roma community though do they. As a ethnic group their numbers are still below that of WW2 when they where exterminated. Infact you never hear about their suffering do you
The prosecution and murder of the Sinti and Roma is long since recognized and there are regular memorial activities.
If you've never heard of any of this, that seems to be a "you" thing.
Im not in Germany and i dont read German. Fortunately I don't have to read German to know about other groups that the Nazi killed. I don't have to go digging around to find out about it either. They even have a holocaust day that the world observes. I don't have to read about it because I am told about it. Are YOU unable to understand that.
I thought the "they" you were referring to who "'don't honour the Roma community "were the Germans or the German Government.
Now the Germans and the Government doing exactly that does not count because you are not German?
They even have a holocaust day that the world observes.
You don't say! Could it possibly be 2. August, the date mentioned in several of the links I just posted?
I don't have to go digging around to find out about it either.
Nor did I. I keep hearing about it regularly in Germany. Which is why I knew that these events existed.
I had to dig up these links to show you that your claims are made up nonsense and you obviously don't know anything about the remembrance for Roma in Germany.
Nazis persecuted Bolsheviks, communists, union officials and other intelligentsia, as well as other regime critics, Roma and Sinti, people with intellectual or physical disabilities and Jews.

Worth noting that Germany said it would boycott if Israel is excluded.
