Today, we remember the more than 500,000 Roma murdered under the Nazi regime.
Their lives were extinguished, their culture suppressed, and their stories silenced.
80 years later, we remember the past and commit to do better in the future. We honour Roma’s legacy and continue to fight for a world where diversity is celebrated and where hatred has no place.
On #RomaHolocaustDay, we reemphasise our commitment to safeguard the rights of all minority groups.

Very important to remember that the #Nazis went after pretty much everyone who was in any way vulnerable to them, from Jews to Roma to slavic people to immigrants to queer people... Even people who supported them weren't necessarily spared, if they were part of another group they had gotten around to going after.
Really, they were going after everyone, because you can find a reason to persecute anyone, and violence was what they were about.
And that's how they killed 25 to 50 million people, though we may never have the exact number.
