Poland observes European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day

Poland marked the European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day on Monday to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the liquidation of the Roma family camp (Zigeunerlager) at Auschwitz-Birkenau. "It is the duty of all of us to promote the remembrance of the WW2 Roma victims and to make it fully present in history, so that the knowledge of the Roma Holocaust be widely known," Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote in a letter read out during the ceremony at the former Nazi German Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Oswiecim, southern Poland.
