Today we mark #RomaniResistanceDay, highlighting Roma people’s bravery in the face of oppression and discrimination. Much remains to be done to address Roma exclusion in EU countries, I thus call on them to fully implement their national Roma strategies #EU4Roma #UnionOfEquality

Today is #2August – the European Holocaust Memorial Day for Roma and Sinti, the commemoration of Sinti and Roma murdered on that night in 1944 in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Don’t forget, as memorials preserve the truth ! #NaBister2024 #2August 📷 by 2 August DHNB

Friday marks 80 years since the last surviving Roma and Sinti in Auschwitz-Birkenau were killed by the Nazis. We honour the memory of all those murdered and pay tribute to the survivors.

“And then came that infamous day, August 2, 1944, when the Gypsy camp was dissolved,” remembered Karl Stojka. That night, German authorities in Auschwitz-Birkenau murdered between 4,200 and 4,300 Roma and Sinti. Approximately 21,000 Romani people were murdered at Auschwitz.

Delving into the Roma's WWII history pays tribute to their suffering and empowers us to combat prejudice and promote understanding. Join us in supporting @theIHRA #ProtectTheFacts campaign by learning the history and roots of discrimination to build a better future.

On this day in 1944 the remaining prisoners of the "Gypsy camp" were brutally murdered by Nazis & their collaborators. Today, we stood together at Auschwitz-Birkenau where these atrocities took place to remember the Roma and Sinti victims of the #Holocaust. #RomaniGenocide.

Aujourd'hui marque le 80e anniversaire du #GénocidedesRoms. En ce jour de 1944, 4300 personnes ont été brutalement assassinées à Auschwitz-Birkenau. Aujourd'hui et chaque jour, nous honorons la mémoire des plus de 500 000 victimes roms et sinti de l'Holocauste. Mek te aven jerto.

"We know that when truth telling does not take place, cycles of discrimination and violence continue. It is a tragedy that today the situation for Roma remains precarious (…) I urge countries to acknowledge openly the #antigypsyism that exists in their societies Volker Türk 🙏🏽

This 👇🏽 Roberta Metsola 🙏🏽 for remembering our history and acknowledging our present and committing to improve our future.
