During the Second World War, Nazi Germany and its allies murdered an estimated hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti — a genocide known in Romani as the Porajmos. Whole communities were destroyed in camps and mass shootings.
Remembrance is central to Roma history and rights today, kept alive by survivors’ testimony and by institutions of memory.
