Ensuring the integration of Europe's Roma is at the core of the philanthropy of George Soros. In this recorded testimony Soros, a survivor of the Nazi occupation of Hungary during World War II, discusses why he believes the treatment of Roma continues to be the worst case of social exclusion based on ethnicity. This is especially true in Europe today with the rise of xenophobia and racism. Call the Witness provides new insight into the suffering, alienation, and poverty that for centuries have characterized Europe's largest ethnic minority. The project lays bare the numerous challenges the Roma face, and it also reveals the hope for a Europe that embraces people of different backgrounds, where all Roma children have access to a quality education and where Roma music, art, and culture are seen as integral parts of what it means to be European.
