May 16 is Romani Resistance Day, which commemorates the uprising of Roma and Sinti prisoners at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
In May of 1944, Roma and Sinti prisoners staged an armed resistance against the planned “liquidation” of the gypsy camps, which would have led to the mass murder of approximately 6,000 Romani. Thanks to the efforts of the Roma and Sinti interned at Auschwitz, these execution plans were staggered and delayed for several months. We hold this day to honor their bravery, mourn their deaths, and memorialize that which the Romani community endured under the Nazi regime.
You can learn some more about Romani Resistance Day, and the ongoing effort to preserve the Berlin memorial to murdered Roma and Sinti against Deutsche Bahn’s railroad development, by listening to this episode of Smith’s Kushti Podcast.
The ERRC’s Romani Tea Room has also put out an episode collecting stories from descendants of Romani Holocaust survivors.
