Advocacy
Fundraising campaign for the project “Preserving the Oral History of the Roma Genocide in Ukraine”
Witnesses to the Roma genocide in Ukraine are among the few people in Europe who have survived two wars on the same land: World War II and today's Russian invasion of Ukraine. Their lives connect history with the present. Supporting these people is not only humanitarian aid, it is an act of justice. The initiative is led by the third generation of Roma witnesses, who care for the generation of their grandparents. The initiative is a manifestation of responsibility, intergenerational solidarity, and living memory.
