The newly opened Roma and Sinti Holocaust Memorial in Bohemia became one of the significant buildings of 2024. He received the Prize of the Chairman of the Senate of the Czech Republic for extraordinary societal contribution. The memorial, ceremonially opened in May of this year, was created on the site of a former concentration camp where Czech Roma and Sinti were imprisoned during the Nazi occupation.
Architects Jan Sulzer and studio Terra Florida signed the architectural design of the area. An interesting element of the space is the forest symbolizing the Roma community and the empty spaces commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. The memorial circle then marks the original site of the camp.
