The Czech Republic's National Party stirred-up controversy when it erected a memorial stone to victims of WWII near the site where a Roma concentration camp stood between September 1942 and spring 1945. Seeing it as a denial of the Roma Holocaust, the mayor of Lety had the stone removed late last week. On Saturday, January 21st members of the National Party held an organized gathering at Lety, where Roma leaders and their supporters also met to guard what they consider a sacred memorial. Linda Mastalir was there and spoke to people on both sides of the issue. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/extremismus_lety3.jpg?timestamp=1591454454 https://english.radio.cz/renewed-controversy-lety-concentration-camp-8623478 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
