80 Years

80 years ago, the Germans established in Auschwitz II-Birkenau the so-called Zigeunerlager – Gypsy family camp. The first transport of prisoners arrived on February 26, 1943 from Germany. On Sunday, at the memorial site, the anniversary was commemorated by representatives of Roma communities.

The Zigeunerlager existed until August 2, 1944 with 23,000 registered inmates.
