Roma Genocide Remembrance Day at the Auschwitz Memorial (2020)
Ambassador Michaela Küchler, the IHRA President said: “All IHRA Member Countries are concerned that incidents of antigypsyism/anti-Roma discrimination are on the rise. The current coronavirus pandemic has only fanned the flames of anti-Roma sentiment. Against this backdrop, the need to adopt a working definition of antigypsyism/anti-Roma discrimination has never been more urgent. I am delighted that we have taken collective action today to confront this evil. Our working definition will provide us with an important tool to address the rising tide of anti-Roma sentiment and safeguard the historical record of the crimes committed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators”.
