BACKGROUND OF THE EVENT & ROMA GENOCIDE REMEMBRANCE INITIATIVE
The Initiative and its members gather young Roma and non-Roma from all over Europe around August 2nd 2022, marking the anniversary of the “Holocaust Memorial Day for Sinti and Roma”, for the last 12 years. The initiative aims at raising awareness among young Europeans, civil society and decision-makers about the Roma Genocide, as well as about the mechanisms of antigypsyism in a challenging context of rising racism, hate speech, war and extremism in Europe.
