Resources for August 2 -  Holocaust Memorial Day for Roma and Sinti

For many decades, the victims and survivors of Roma and Sinti Holocaust has been receiving the respect and recognition they deserve. Roma and Sinti witnesses were not included in the Nuremberg trials and the perpetrators were not held accountable. The memory of the Roma and Sinti Holocaust has been largely missing from the European collective memory, including museum and educational curriculums.

To mark August 2, we have collected some educational resources and key advocacy efforts:
