The extermination of Romani People Remembrance Day
One day before the celebration a granite commemorative plaque with a text in Romani language was unveiled to honor the memory of Romani people murdered in the camp. The plaque was situated in the place of old stakes next to the ruins of crematory and gas chamber V, in which last Romani prisoners lost their lives on August 2, 1944. The inscription on the plaque says: “To commemorate men, women and children who fell victims to Nazi genocide”. Similar granite plaques with inscriptions in Polish, English, Hebrew and Yiddish are located in symbolic places (such as crematories or places where dead bodies of prisoners were burnt) within the borders of the former Birkenau camp.
The head of The Association of Jewish Communities in Poland, Piotr Kadlčik emphasizes the fact that retaining the victims of WW II in our memory is extremely important. “Although we could talk about intolerance and hatred, I would like to talk today about something else. In fact, I would like to appeal to people like me, who know about the extermination from stories, books and accounts of others. The memory of those events should not fade and we are the last people who can prevent this from happening”.
