This relation will try to explain how still present is the racism of past years in the modern time. «Hitler had a triumph also after the war […]» wrote Jean Amery in his book An intellectual in Auschwitz and he means how the racist prejudice had still a place and a time, also after Auschwitz. It seems that the past didn’t teach us too much if still now there are racist affirmations or pronouncements which are the same of those during the Nazism for instance. The discriminations, even if only spoken, have a “rule” today and are considered in the modern society and accepted as “ordinary”. In the modern European society there are frequent racist and violent attacks forward other individuals. The Media gives a relevant contribute to this racist language. But who are the persecuted? Of course it was not simple to choice, if we consider the different goals in the modern society, but analyzing some particular cases and touching the ordinary society I could choice, for my opinion the Roma and Sinti’s culture. They are handled always as alien, deprived of every form of dignity, humanity and identity. Every European citizen think to have the right to “defend” his security against them. This behavior is felt by the Governments as the “motivation” for approving measures full of prejudice and discrimination forward the target. But every European citizen actually doesn’t know anything about the culture of Roma and Sinti. The Roma and the Sinti have never declared a war to another country, they have never occupied another country and although this they are still the victims of the modern society as the scholar Moni Ovadia said.
