O memoriali e mudarde Romengo thay SIntengo ani Evropa talo Nacionaluno Socializmo ano Berlini si pe baro riziko. Deutsche Bahn dela zori Berlineske Senateske te aprovinel nevo S-Bahn drom direkt talo memoriali.
Vash ayeka khardo S21, purane kashta musay te putaren drom kola si centralune vash Dani Karavaneski artistikuni vizia. Bizo akala kashta, e unikat atmosfera thay o traynipe e memorialune thanesko mashkar Reichstag kompleksi thay Brandenburg Porta shay te iven sahipea aravde.
Vash o Sinti thay Roma minoriteti, o memoriali si senzitivuno than e pelaripasko pe godi e zoreske viktimengo thay lenge nashalipasko – simbolikuno limori.
„Moro dat, miri day, mere phenya thay moro tikno phral mudardile ko Nazi eksterminipaske kampya thay na silen limori kote shay te mekhav luludya. Than kote me shay te beshav korkoro thay te ovav olenca ko mo gndipe. Akava si yekh baro nashalipe. Konsiderinava akava memoriali sar ma familiako limori. […] Kharava odolen kola planirinena e ruta vash nevo S-Bahn te len pe konsideripe o mangipya e Romengo thay Sintengo ani germania thay may buhle. E yekhuni shukar solucia si alternativuni ruta resipea kay amaro monumenti te na pelargyol thay o traynipe si garantimo. […] Mekhen amaro monumenti bi qalavdo akalea vi amare mule te arakhen olengo savahtuno traynipe.“

Thus Zoni Weisz 2021, kova sar qhavoro jivdingya o genocidi e Sintengo thay Romengo ani Holandia thay nashalgya sah para familia.
E memorialea, E Federaluni Germaniaki Republika simbolikipea penjarela olako godornipe vash o krimya kola kerdile mamuy o Sinti thay Roma. Olesko vazdipe ko Berlinesko cenro si centraluno kotor e historikune thay politkake godornipasko ko prezent momento, ani Germania sar vi ani Evropa, memoriali mamuy bisteripe. O genocide sine penjardo ni Federaluni germaniaki Republika numay ko bersh 1982, thay manglepe pandar trianda bersha e politikune maripasko anglo te inaguringyol o memoriali ko bersh 2012 – 67 bersh palo Duyto Lumiako Maripe thay 20 bersh pali angluni deklaracia e mangipasko e federalune raipasko te vazdel ayeka yekh memoriali.
Ko nilay e bershesko 2020, e publika thay o jene e Sinti thay Roma minoritetesko siklile kotar o medie vash o planirime konstrukcie e S 21 talourban pampureska lenyako thay o asocimo pelaripe e memorialesko.
Palo nesave proteste thay negociacie, e „variant 12h“ finalipea prezentisali sar “kompromisesko propozali”. Numay vi akava sikavla o peripe e bare kotoresko e pashutne kashtengo thay o sar vi o aravipe e sah arteska butyako. Israeluno akitekti Dani Karavan, memorialesko kreatori, anglo poro meripe ano mayi 2021 phengya:
„O kashta si integraluno kotor e memorialesko thay krucialuno elementi e atmosferako koya manglape te kergyol. te sine kay o kashta yaveringyona pe varesavo drom, o shuzharipe ka nashalel o qaqipe thay e unikat atmosfera e memorialeski ka peravgyol. Varesavo yaveripe e kashtengo ka peravel memorialesko ulavipe kotar e diz drastikipea ka qalavel oleski funksia sar than vash gndipe thay meditacia.“
Dani Karavan, memorialesko kreatori
O Temelipasko Memoriali e mudarde Evropake yahudiengo, kova pe ayni vaht si godorno vash o Memoriali e Romengo thay Sintengo ani Evropa Mudarde Talo Nacionaluno Socializmo, hraminla kay e »variant 12h« nashti may luge te sigurinel Olesko elgaluno mandati, o pelaripe pe godi e mudarde Sinti thay Romengo ani Evropa thay olengo uqo evaluipe, pe manglo drom.
Berlinesko raipe akana mangela te lugyarel maydur e planirime konstrukciake planenca. NUmay yekhe kurkeske penjaripea, o reprezentya kotar o Romane thay Sinti BRO, Noa Karavan, Dani Karaveneski qhay, thay e Monument Fondacia khardile pe kedipe ko 28 t Septembri. Ko 13-to Oktobri, »konkretuno proposal vash laqharipe ko prezentuno proposali (konstrukciako varianti 12h)« manglape te dengyon. O resipe e Berineske Senatesko si »si deipe lafi vash varianti 12h resipea kay te nashen kotar o lugyardo kosto thay kalkulime konstrukciake kostesko bayripe ji ko milionya «. Alternativune rute kola shay ka mekhen o memoriali e Sintenge thay Romenge sar biqalavdo akan na konsideringyona vash nisavo kostosko sebepi.
Simey m amen mekhipa o interesya e Deutsche Bahnesko, legaluno lhiravutno e Deutsche Reichsbahnesko, kova transportingya e viktimen ko koncentraciake thay eksterminaciake kampya, te peravel e memoria e mule manushengi?

Bi revokipasko peravela o memoriali e mudarde Evropake Sintengo thay Romengo.
Birespektinela e viktimen, e mule aqhilen thay olenge avutnen.
Fundamentalipea atakinela o dedikipe e Germanyune amalipasko pe memoria e nakhle krimengo.
Na si o obliglipe e qalavde minoritetesko te dikehl vash alternativune solucie vash varianti 12h, numay e moral thay politikuni obligacia e sah Germanyengi te ushten vash o integriteti e monumentesko.
Khara sah e Berlinesko Senati te na len maybut bajakya ji na arakhlola e ruta koya mekhla o monumenti bi qalavdo thay olesko sahipe.
