Auschwitz Uprising
This coming Monday will celebrate the anniversary of the Roma rebellion in the Roma camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau. This unprecedented event is one of the essential elements of our history. (…) It is a symbol. Courage and heroism should be a beacon for contemporary Roma. Determination and resistance, even in a seemingly hopeless situation, give hope
– said the president of the association Roman Kwiatkowski in an interview with PAP.

Documentation Centre
The German government has adopted the concept of a Documentation Centre for Dealing with the German Occupation Regime in Europe. The monumental project is the result of many years of work and discussions about what such a place should be like.

Lety
The president of the Czech Senate will attend the ceremonies commemorating the victims of Nazism on May 8th on the site of the former concentration camp for Roma in Lety.
Good, since the Czech are actually not really keen to acknowledge this part of history.

Poland: Memorial
A year ago, at the cemetery in Imbramowice, near Wrocław, the construction of a monument financed by the Institute of National Remembrance was completed on a collective grave of 50 Polish citizens of Roma nationality, murdered by the Germans on February 2 and 3, 1943 in Imbramowice and Wolbrom. At that time, due to the limitations related to the pandemic, it was not possible to consecrate the tombstone. It was successfully consecrated last Sunday.

Czech Republic and Roma Holocaust
A former Czech MP has been sentenced to six months’ probation for denying the genocide of the Roma. In 2017, Miloslav Rozner of the right-wing party Freedom and Direct Democracy described the Roma concentration camp in Lety as a “non-existent pseudo-concentration camp”. A district court in Prague assessed this as a denial of the genocide of the Sinti and Roma. However, the judgment is not yet final.

Ustasha and Roma
Croatia for the first tie commemorated Roma victims of the Ustasha who literally killed the entire Roma population of Croatia. Meanwhile, the Jewish community declined to participate in the commemoration in Jasenovac, the infamous concentration camp. They are right, and Roma should do the same.

Really?
A 93 years old German woman was sentenced to a year of jail for Holocaust denial.
How can she deny it? This is crazy.

On June 19, 2020, during the renovation and construction works at the market square in Tarnogród, the remains of Roma Holocaust victims were found. The exhumation, carried out by the Institute of National Remembrance, uncovered the remains of 22 people: 8 men, 3 women, probably 3 women, 8 children and 2 fetuses. The Roma were murdered by German gendarmes in May 1942.
The remains were buried in the parish cemetery in Prostynia. The ceremony began in the area of the Execution Site at the monument to the Roma and Sinti located next to the Treblinka I Penal Labor Camp, with the participation of the Roma community and invited guests.

Hannover: Remember
Around 100 Sinti and Roma from Hanover were deported to Auschwitz in March 1943. At a wreath-laying ceremony at the Ahlem memorial, the city and region recalled the injustice of the Nazi era – and called for the fight against prejudice.
