WWII : The Forgotten Of Rememberance.

The deportees in Nazi camos were mostly Jews. We must never forget. Never again.
But other kind of people suffered martyrdom equally.
And those are too often forgotten in Rememberance duty abd ceremonies.
Im am talking about: the fisabled, Roma, gays, homelesses, mentally ill...
Why this underlighting martyrdom?
Because those very people arre still ostracized, denied, even sometimes harrassed in our so calle " world in peace"

In France since 2010 is a global targeting of Roma. They are regulary chase by autorities who refuse them to camp, insulted by RW politucians, their slums and belongings are destroyed without alternative solutions than stay in tge streets.
Disabled and mentally ill are worldwide denied from work, hoysing, social life .people are ostracozed in fact only because of their difference
Every year hundreds of homelesses die in the street because no one wants really to offer a real efficient housing policy, an alternative to shelters where in fact ( at least in France) the precarioussness is organized ( here social welfare 90% goes within infantilizing people and make them too dependant of the system)
Gays still suffer from stigmatization and even if they have more rights... homophoby is still strong.

The fact is that "associal" deportation victims are not remembered and honor enough.... because to this day societies continue to target them. A true tribute to them would high light the darjest side of our societies.
