Finding out this Nazi scientist was in Caithness racially profiling our Scottish Highland Travellers before WW2 and the mass killing of Roma & Sinti across Europe is so upsetting. Teach history never forget #Scotland #GRT #Holocaust #Genocide #grthm23 #Traveller #Gypsy #ancestry

We are posting upsetting news articles for awareness about a Nazi top scientist Wolfgang visit to racially profile our Scottish Highland Travellers. As history shows there is no doubt what the intent was -never forget #ScottishGypsy #Gypsy #eugenics #genocide #GRT #Nawken #WW2

Horrific! Our Caithness Traveller families "visited" by Wolfgang Abel a Nazi racial biologist measuring their heads, limbs, taking handprints, photos, this history should not be forgotten #tinker #Gypsy #Scotland #Caithness #GRTHM23

[ScottishTravellers @ScotTravellers]

Shocking to find Wolfgang Abel a Nazi top racial biologist and SS member, visited Caithness Travellers in 1938 to measure their heads, limbs, take handprints, photographs. Also highlights the media's part in damaging the community with the disgusting use of phrases like "infest"

In today’s video for #GRTHM23, Lynne Tammi is in conversation with Roseanna McPhee and Shamus McPhee about the Tinker Experiments

Not sure what is to consider, a apology is many years overdue, and shouldnt be taking tireless efforts by the victims of the shameful 'Tinker Experiment' to get one. Well done sky for highlighting. #Nacken #HumanRights #travellers

If you claim you are anti racism yet still harbour anti Traveller and Gypsy sentiments, then I suggest you retract your claim and admit you have racist tendencies.

Hating ethnic minorities is racist.

Hating people based on their ethnic background is racism.

It's extremely painful to lose a loved one to suicide.

We believe that the Government should be doing more to support Gypsy and Traveller people experiencing suicidal thoughts.

That's why we need your support to learn more about suicide in Gypsy and Traveller communities. (1/2)
