The Roma people are one of the most disadvantaged minorities in Europe – regularly targeted by the right wing parties and hate groups live on the margins of society. Yet, they are European citizens.

Schindler's List was about the world. Compared to it the fact, that all of 48.000 Jews living in Bulgaria were saved from death camps, remains unknown. The head of the Bulgarian church, politicians and professional associations stopped Hitler's diplomats and the other anti-Semitic accomplices and in this way prevented from murdering the Bulgarian Jews. Bulgaria was, on the one hand, an ally of Nazi-Germany, but, on the other hand, as far as racial issue is concerned, the country pursuing different policies. At the last moment, the king Boris III the Unifier supported the protesting society and together with the church, intellectuals and politicians hindered the deportation of the people to the death camps.

The language reflects the mentality, traditions and emotions. It tells the history of particular culture. The other way round, from their own culture and history people develop a certain language system with some exceptions and rules. An international language such as English helps us obviously to communicate but it cannot replace the mother language.
In our international project we present the languages that can be categorized according to the particular language families, they are the groups of the Germanic, Slavic, Altaic, Romanic, Afroasiatic, Indogermanic and Sino-Tibetan languages.
Listen to the further languages that are hardly spoken in the streets of central European cities as Bulgarian and Ladino. What Ladino is you can find out from our broadcast!

Stubborn Minority are the Pomaks in Bulgaria
Broadcast on rbb, mdr
The Pomaks are Muslim minority in Bulgaria that mainly inhabits Rhodop Mountains. The community numbering 300 000 people is hardly known in the heart of Europe although their way 
of life as Europeans. The Pomaks travel throughout Europe carrying Christian names while using Muslim ones at home. They speak Bulgarian but also visit the Mosque and celebrate the Christian holidays. No matter for them. They have lived peacefully with the Turks, Bulgarians and Roma for more than 1400 years!
Are the Bulgarians that were Islamized under the Ottoman rule simply a different ethnic group? The scientists provide us only with mere presumptions. Therefore Turks, Bulgarians, Greeks and Arabians strive to win the Pomaks over. Once during the communist regime their Muslim names were replaced with Christian ones. The Pomaks do not bow to anything; they keep a balance between different camps and benefit from various cultures, however, they maintain their individuality.
Listen to their stories!
