Roma and Sinti Genocide Remembrance Day observed
August 2nd, 2018
Forgiveness means great strength, German Roma Rita Prigmore told the gathering at the former German Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp on the International Roma and Sinti Genocide Remembrance Day observed on Thursday. "It is only forgiveness that can secure a good future. Hatred poisons life and the future," she said. Some 21,000 Roma and Sinti people were murdered by the Germans in the so-called "Gypsy family camp" (Zigeunerlager) at Auschwitz-Birkenau during World War II. On the night of August 2, 1944, the Germans killed around 4,200 Sinti and Roma in the gas chambers. Observances marking the 74th anniversary of the liquidation of the Roma camp were held at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi German death camp on Thursday as part of observances marking the International Roma and Sinti Genocide Remembrance Day.
