Dutch Sinto and Holocaust survivor Zoni Weisz addressed the German Bundestag at its annual remembrance ceremony, the first time a representative of Sinti and Roma had spoken there for the occasion. His speech challenged the continued public invisibility of the genocide and linked memory to the discrimination Roma and Sinti still faced. The milestone came after decades of survivor and civil-rights organizing.
