Today, August 2 we mark Remembrance Day for the victims of the genocide of the Sinti and Roma.
On the night of 2 - 3 August, 1944 in the gas chambers of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau about 3 thousand Roma and Sintiwas were killed. 20 years ago on November 23, 1996 the leaders of Roma organizations in Europe and the United States make a decision to make 2 August an official commemorative date. Since 2004, in Ukraine, as in most civilized countries, this remembrance day is commemorated at the state level. During the war, the Nazis killed more than 20 thousand representatives of this nation living in Ukraine.
