many roma settlements in romania always on the outside of the villages it's a small miracle that houses are being built here at all which have had their old i tried with the bank but they didn't give me a loan. my salary is too small. i had no chance to do anything to that have any possibility. instead the money for the building materials comes from jenny akasha the founder of a german aid project out how. she has been helping these roma communities around seaview for more than 10 years about one in 3 remain ians lives in poverty and the robot are the poorest of all. almost almost and you have to be able to dream of that but leave room for small miracles because that's how it all happened i didn't want to accept things as they
10:21 pm
were here. all the men have to help with the building work because jenny believes in learning to help yourself. because i don't like to look at. the money comes from private donors in germany the european union also spends a lot of money in romania 10000000000 euros every year jenny had spectra seaview she's not too keen on the e.u. funds the battle with local authorities spending them their corruption and lack of cooperation is too difficult. let's adamant about my belief of this nation maybe they should think about sending people from brussels to those countries to see who's responsible for inspecting projects and finding out where all the money goes . almost got to be a sense overall jenny things romania has profited immensely from being a member of the e.u. the infrastructure in the cities is much improved europe has also helped building

schools and paying teachers but in roma settlements only one child in 5 is actually going to school more than anything else education is the key to a better future for the roma communities in romania. right wing populist in germany keep looking for ways to mitigate the crimes of the nazis leading members of the f.d.a. are trying again can they revise the currently accepted approach to remember that's . not far from berlin sachsenhausen concentration camp was one of many sites where people were brutally annihilated on a huge scale german world war 2. school groups come here from across europe to learn about nazi atrocities. this is short this is really depressing. and makes me feel very sad a little as it's
10:23 pm
a horrible feeling to be here. until now there has been a consensus in german politics to ensure that the crimes of the nazi era not forgotten especially among younger generations but the far right a.f.d. reject this they claim nazi history takes up too much school time and say the culture of remembrance is bad for germany. the effect ladies and gentlemen is quite clear young people are systematically brought up to feel guilt and shame about being german and they learn to associate germany with evil is this to us it's you know these sentiments are not just expressed in parliamentary debates the director of the sachsenhausen memorial says sites like this are directly targeted by the far right. there was a group here that was either in the f.t. or aligned with it but we don't know if they were party members who were denying nazi crimes. by the public prosecutor's office is continuing right these people
10:24 pm
even deny the existence of the gas chambers. provocations like these are only part of the a if these tactics for example in a state of bottom the party has tried to reduce public funding for memorials there is no majority support for such measures but some fear the public opinion may change. a.s.d. says germany's nazi past should be seen in a wider context. we also want to focus on the positive aspects of german history because we think every nation needs positive points to identify with its yong's. but. stressing the favorable aspects of german history is pulling the wool over people's eyes i think it's wrong and downright dangerous we have done important work over decades taking a critical look at our own history. our political conflicts that could affect the

10:27 pm
but this time i picked it up and it turned its head in bit me. the snake shouldn't be harassed even if it means sharing a bed with. you. for that reason the snakes move freely in and out of the wood you now says. new year old you know. the name of the island. its traditions are rather strict no one cuts down a tree for any reason. bugs to shoot them be killed and their eggs must not be eaten. but the custom of the prohibits women on the island is the one that is toughest for the fishermen. say don't do no port i will be good to finish your work and go home and see your family every day you know how your child spent the night to know what they read and unfortunately it's not possible
