The news, the very tragic and disturbing news, of Gazela has come to me late. I want to be in Belgrade, if only because of a morbid, privileged type of curiosity. The same type of curiosity that came over me after I went to NYC some months after the destruction of the Twin Towers. The destruction of Gazela: is this a ground zero for Roma in Serbia? In the Balkans? What does the site look like now? I have only one picture, on B92, of a bulldozer crushing what used to be the home of a human. A human who has now been sent somewhere, possibly South Serbia, possibly a metal trailer with some furniture and plumbing. Is this really a replacement for what was once a home?
