International Day of Remembrance for the Roma Victims of the Genocide in World War II

The International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Roma during World War II was commemorated in Croatia, marking the day in 1944 when nearly three thousand Roma were killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The central ceremony took place at the Roma memorial cemetery in Uštica, near the Jasenovac Memorial Site. Uštica, a small village near Jasenovac, holds painful memories for members of the Roma national minority. It is estimated that more than 16,000 Roma lost their lives in the area during World War II. In remembrance of those who helped during these difficult times, a memorial center and a Park of Friendship and Peace were opened at the site. Traditional ceremonies included laying wreaths, lighting candles, and giving speeches. The event was broadcast on the fourth channel of HTV from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.
