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.

@EUCommission remember that even today Roma face heavy prejudice in most parts of Europe. I don’t know many Roma but the ones I do know are really nice people who don’t fit into the stereotypes.
