It is a great privilege to stand here today at this great event, this historic event. Having just listened to that ladies speech, that really upset me, despite the fact that I was also in Auschwitz as an 8-year old girl. I would like to say it is an honor to me to be among so many people who suffered so greatly, perhaps even much more so than I. I am upset, you can feel that. I would like to thank the Polish people for having preserved this former camp and made it into such a world-renowned Memorial which it is today, where people can come. I was in Auschwitz as a Sinti and Roma. I lived in England nearly 60 years and I know not many people know that Sinti and Roma greatly suffering under the Nazis, similar to the Jewish people.
I am blind, I cannot look at notes, so what I am saying comes from the heart and Joanna Talewicz-Kwiatkowska will now read me speech. She will read what I have written.
