'Three and a half years have passed since the armed attacks against Roma families and communities ended. During this time most families understood that they can count on very little help from society and the state. The survivors and their families and the Roma communities had to face and struggle with the fact that no matter what happens, what tragedy befalls them, they can only really count on themselves. The attacks were not followed by the creation of a consistent rehabilitation program, which would have provided truly long term help tailored to the affected individuals and communities. This was a problem because both the victims and society at large missed out on the cathartic experience of the shared work of mourning that follows killings. The families were left alone not only during the attacks, but during their mourning as well. And we stood by this during these years.
