On the occasion of International Human Rights Day, the In Minorita civic association (OZ) has prepared commemorative events as part of the Ma bisteren! project commemorating the Roma Holocaust on Tuesday, which will be held in Zvolen and Čierny Balog.

As the organizers recalled, this year we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of several tragic events. “After the suppression of the Slovak National Uprising in the autumn of 1944, there were reprisals against the civilian population, persecutions also affected the Roma population. Helping the partisans, but also suspicion of such help, was punishable by death,” they said.
