This new issue of the EUROM magazine highlights the Samudaripen/Porrajmos, focusing on the Roma community’s ongoing struggle for recognition and reparations. María Sierra examines this topic in post-war Germany and Europe, while Anja Kožul discusses Croatia’s context, emphasizing the challenges posed by rising far-right ideologies and persistent discrimination.
In our section on European memory politics, Stéphane Michonneau and Babeth Robert analyze “martyred villages” as transnational patrimonial sites, and Christian Dürr explores the ambitious memorialisation project of the Gusen Concentration Camp, which integrates international expertise and local community involvement.
We also address global memory politics, with Mayki Gorosito discussing the ESMA Memory Site Museum in Argentina. Recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the museum’s mission contrasts sharply with the current Argentine administration’s stance on human rights.
