No excuse for not having read Brian Ladd's _The Ghosts of Berlin_ long since. Urban historian Alan Lessoff recommended it as an exemplar of urban histoy. He is so right. What a spectacular book. Perhaps, even worthy of the overused "brilliant" and "fantastic." Good covers, too.

Below the candle, it’s written 'WE REMEMBER'. The wall background in the image has a rough and weathered texture, with visible peeling paint and discoloration. It gives off a rustic appearance, suggesting age and wear. The EU flag in the bottom right corner.
#WeRemember🕯️
We honour the memory of victims that were part of the atrocious Roma Holocaust taking more than 500,000 lives.
Today marks 10 years since the EU officially recognised this day.
We stand united against antigypsyism — today and every day.
Haven’t been to AGA but the VAG is…not good. Cultural institutions at the municipal level in the Lower Mainland is horrendous. Great at the community level, terrible further up.

I also recognize that each case is unique and, ultimately, states can choose to recognize or not based on any number of real or arbitrary understandings.
