On the night of August 2-3, 1944, the Nazis killed between three and four thousand Roma prisoners in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. The Nazis intended to physically destroy the Roma, as well as the Jews. However, for a long time, even after Hitler's defeat and the condemnation of Nazism, the Roma genocide remained out of sight in the Western community for various reasons. It remained especially out of sight in Ukraine, which only with independence gradually began to restore the memory of the events of World War II, not distorted by Soviet propaganda.
The Odessa Holocaust Research Center, together with the Roma community, honored the memory of the Roma exterminated during World War II.
The Genocide Museum "Territory of Memory" - memory is you and me!
