The people of Canada including the Prime Minister his M.P,s members of the Senate news reporters and indeed all others who cry genocide have absolutely no idea off what the word means and i for one are very deeply offended by them having the audacity to talk of genocide.

My roots are Romany, my relatives go back hundreds of years and we have been held as second class citizens and persecuted for over a thousand years and this continues to this day.

Tens of thousands of my people were killed by Nazis & others all over Europe during WW 2, we were incarcerated at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Chelmo, Belzec, Sobbibor, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen, m

Mathausen, Ravensbrook, and many other camps throughout Europe.

There were many Gypsies selected by Dr Josef Mengele for medical experiments and on one day alone Aug 2nd 1944 over 4200 Gypsies were gassed at Birkenau for one of the very few uprisings of prisoners against german brutality in the camp. That is genocide, how dare you use that term in this case that is a an insult to all races who have been subjected to it and you should be ashamed to use that term for your own personal gain.

Unlike all those self appointed experts mentioned in your article I can prove my case and feel that every single one of them owe me an apology, Oh yes and please realize that is ALL I want although am sure I will not get even 1.

How dare you.

Mark DeWolf is an indigenous or part indigenous man who writes expertly and provides a balanced but also banned perspective on residential schools. His essay is excellent and piercingly true.
