Lety at Last

Two US articles on Lety and the fact that the Czech government will finally buy the pig farm on the site.
Unfortunately, both articles contain misleading information. That 1’300 Roma were sent to Auschwitz from there, that there were 10’000 Roma in the Czech Republic before the War etc. Fact is that many people who were shipped to Auschwitz were not registered, and that no one knows how many Roma there was in the Czech Republic before the war.
One thing though is sure: After the War, there were none left.
May they rest in peace.
