On August 6, 2017 Museum “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” welcomed the exhibition “Genocide Against Roma – Remember to Resist”, created by German organization Bildungswerk für Friedensarbeit. The exhibition is devoted to the fate of Romanian Roma who were deported to Transnistria (the Romanian occupation zone between the Dniester and Bug) during the Second World War. About half of the deportees died as a result of extremely difficult living conditions. To remind of this almost forgotten genocide, in spring 2016 young Roma and youth of other nationalities from Ukraine, Romania, Moldova and Germany started special trip. Between Bucharest and Bug, they met survivors, witnesses of deportations, and visited places of Roma internment. As the result if these meeting the exhibition has been created.
