Today’s Roma Holocaust Memorial Day is a warning that Europe is still failing to turn the lessons of history into political reality. Over a decade ago, on the occasion of 2 August, I wrote a short text for a leading Polish newspaper to build visibility around the Roma Holocaust. On the one hand, Roma voices have become increasingly present in shaping remembrance—Roma scholars and researchers, Roma activists across generations, geographies and nationalities, and Roma artists and cultural producers have stubbornly insisted on the importance of marking the Roma Holocaust. The Roma Holocaust remains a footnote in mainstream narratives of the Second World War. Research on the Roma Holocaust is underfunded, while hundreds of its sites across Europe are still unmarked and disrespected.
