There was this woman a gadje academic Shannon Woodcock born in Brisbane she wrote to me and really just wanted to use me. She's doing studies at that mean Holocaust museum in Washinton US and is part of it. She told me she was specialising in Romani Holocaust studies and is writing a book, furthermore she was coming to Australia in February and wanted to meet up so I would introduce her to the local Romani community here that was her plan. Anyway, I found out from other Roma she is well known and was doing this to just promote her own career. It makes me sick and I hate people like her who use the saddest issue without any regard or respect for us and use it as a stepping stone for her career. The Jews in the museum who are against all of us Romanies because of that Elie Weisel guy who wrote a book called 'The night', are teaching her what to write about the Romani Holocaust, she's using their info doing research at their libriary. That freaks me out. Then after that she'll lecture in the Melbourne Le Trope Uni in 2008 full time.
This mean Holocaust museum will not let any Romanies have a voice, they've taken our rights away. Ian Hancock, the Romani professor use to speak for us and did a great job, we need him to do this again, but because of the spiteful people running the museum we have no Romani voice representing us there so they do what they want!
It's bad what's happening.
