European Holocaust Remembrance Day for Sinti and Roma
ai generated text
The European Holocaust Memorial Day for Sinti and Roma is observed on August 2, marking the 80th anniversary of the genocide known as the "Porajmos". This day has been a European day of remembrance since 2015. On August 2-3, 1944, a particularly deadly event occurred at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp, where the elderly, infirm, and mothers with small children were forced into gas chambers, attempting to resist the Nazi genocide. This event is a significant part of the history of the Sinti and Roma genocide in Europe.
Hate speech against Roma and other ethnic minorities, LGBTI communities and refugees/migrants is persisting in political and other public discourse.
Many people are still not aware of the persecution of the Sinti and Roma under National Socialism. That is why it is very important to me to speak for Sinti and Roma at the European Holocaust Memorial Day — to help keep the memory of the victims alive. They must not be forgotten.
The history of the Gypsy people, both in Spain and in the rest of Europe, is a history of persecution, denial, and oblivion.
