Britain's efforts to stop the Nazi invasion of Norway in April 1940 ultimately failed, contributing to Neville Chamberlain's downfall. However, the Royal Navy achieved early victories in the first and second Battles of Narvik, sinking several German vessels.

The Eternal Migrant? Roma Belonging in Europe

01 Oct 2023  |  Green European Journal  |  English  |  European History

The Roma, often perceived as eternal migrants in Europe, have faced centuries of marginalization, violence, and exclusion. Historical narratives shaped by non-Roma have perpetuated stereotypes and prejudices. The Roma's lack of attachment to land, property, and their nomadic lifestyle have contributed to their social categorization and stigmatization. The abolition of Roma slavery in Romania led to significant social changes, including westward migration and continued discrimination. The Roma Holocaust during WWII resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, yet it remains under-recognized. Despite various policy initiatives aimed at improving Roma inclusion, their impact has been limited due to the failure to address the deep-rooted power dynamics and ethnic identity issues. The text calls for a more intersectional and inclusive approach to Roma policies to ensure their full participation and rights as European citizens.

Beatification for Polish family murdered for sheltering Jews

10 Sept 2023  |  BBC News فارسی  |  English  |  Holocaust

A beatification Mass was held in Poland for the Ulma family, who were executed by Nazis in 1944 for hiding Jews. This marks the first time an entire family has been beatified, a significant step towards sainthood. The ceremony, attended by Poland's president and over 30,000 pilgrims, was led by Pope Francis' envoy. The Ulma family, motivated by Christian values, sheltered eight Jews in their farmhouse in Markowa. Betrayed by a Polish police officer, they were executed along with the Jews they hid. The beatification highlights the historical truth of the extreme penalties for aiding Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland. In 1995, Israel's Yad Vashem honored the Ulmas as

Uncertainty grows among refugees and migrants as Germany heads to the polls

21 Feb 2025  |  www.aljazeera.com  |  English  |  Far-Right Politics

Germany is on the brink of high-stakes elections with migration policies and far-right sentiment at the forefront of political discourse. The collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition has intensified the political climate, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gaining popularity, particularly in eastern cities like Cottbus. The conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leads the polls, while the SPD trails behind. Migration remains a contentious issue, with CDU leader Friedrich Merz criticizing current policies and proposing stricter asylum measures. The AfD's controversial tactics, such as distributing fake deportation tickets, have sparked outrage and comparisons to Nazi-era practices. The political landscape is further complicated by Germany's stance on Israel's war on Gaza, contributing to rising Islamophobia and anti-immigration rhetoric. Human rights organizations warn against adopting far-right policies, emphasizing the need for balanced political discourse.
