Holocaust: tragedy of the Romani people that remains one of the least studied pages of the ІІ World
From the early August to the end of September, the world commemorates innocent people tortured and killed during the Second World War due to the Nazi ethnocide policy. On the 2nd of August, the world commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Romani Genocide. Commemorative events took place in the former death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, attended by the high dignitaries, international representatives, and Romani organisations. On the 29th of September, the world is going to commemorate the tragedy of Babyn Yar which, during the German occupation of Kyiv, became the location of mass ethnic-based gunfire executions of Jews and Romanis. The historical truth about the tragic stories of the Romani people has only recently been revealed in full.
