We remember & honour them 🕯️ 💙❤️💚🕯️

🕯️ Remembering #RomaHolocaustMemorialDay 🕯️ On 2nd August, we honour the Romani victims of the #Holocaust. Their strength amidst unimaginable horrors during #WWII is a testament to their resilience. We remember the countless lives lost and stand against ongoing #discrimination.

Today, on the 2nd of August, we commemorate the Roma Holocaust (Porajmos) in honour of the Roma and Sinti Holocaust victims. Historians estimate that 500,000 Roma and Sinti people were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during WW2.
