Roma commemorate victims of holocaust

Around 20 people gathered on Sunday at the site of the former concentration camp for Roma in Lety, central Bohemia, to commemorate the victims of the Roma holocaust. An orthodox service was then held in the victims’ memory. More than 300 Roma died in the Lety camp during the Second World War while another 500 were transported to Auschwitz. The Czech Republic has been repeatedly criticized by the EU for failing to remove a pig farm from the site and to erect a memorial for the camp’s victims.
