European Holocaust Remembrance Day for Sinti and Roma

In 1944, Nazi forces executed around 4,300 Sinti and Roma prisoners in Auschwitz-Birkenau, marking the end of the ‘gypsy camp.’ The European Union commemorates this event on August 2 as the European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. Survivors like Christian Pfeil continue to share their stories, emphasizing the importance of remembering this genocide to prevent history from repeating itself.
