On 2 August, we honour the over 500,000 Sinti and Roma murdered during the Holocaust in WWII. We defend truth over denial and reaffirm 'Never Again'. Remembrance demands action: investing in memorialisation, protecting human rights, and combating persistent antigypsyism. #RomaHolocaust #NaBister 1/2

December 16, 1942 - Heinrich Himmler, head of the German Gestapo, made public an order that Gypsies, or Roma, and those of mixed Roma blood already in labor camps be deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau."
Himmler was determined to prosecute Nazi racial policies, which dictated the elimination from Germany and German-controlled territories of all races deemed "inferior," as well as "asocial" types, (hardcore criminals, homosexuals, Communists, Slavs, Catholic priests). Gypsies fell into both categories according to Nazi ideology and had been executed widely in Croatia, Poland and the Soviet Union.
The Porajmos (also Porrajmos) — literally Devouring — is a term coined by the Romani to describe attempts by the Nazi regime to exterminate most of their people in Europe.

Today we remember the over 500,000 Roma and Sinti murdered during WWII. We must honour them by investing in initiatives that preserve their memory and support the communities to tell their own history. We must #NeverForget & work together to build a better future. #RomaHolocaust
