          test - Roma Fear Being Brushed Out of the History of the Holocaust
    
          January 30, 2015
    
          About 19,000 Roma died at Auschwitz, yet the they have no official presence at commemorations. Declared "racially inferior" by German authorities in the 1940s, much like the Jews, the Roma were victims of a determined campaign by the Nazis to herd them into ghettos and labor camps, and ultimately to kill them. By the war's end, the Roma were believed to have lost anywhere between 300,000 and 500,000 people across central and western Europe.

          test - A Crack in Merkel's Power over Europe
    
          January 30, 2015
    
          We support SYRIZA's demand for a European Debt Conference with the aim of a haircut for Greece and other indebted countries with repayment conditioned upon growth.  The Left Party also calls for a coordinated, EU-wide, one-off wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires, to be used to lower the public debt and to transfer the cost of the financial and economic crisis to the profiteers.

          test - 70 Years After the Liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust Survivors in Israel are Trapped in Poverty
    
          January 30, 2015
    
          As big World War Two anniversaries roll around, fewer and fewer first-hand witnesses are around to tell their stories of its horrors. Israel is still home to many aging Holocaust survivors, but as many as one in four live in poverty.
