Expansion of the Database of victims: we have made available also data on the victims of the Nazi’s racist persecution of Roma, Sinti and other people labelled as “gypsies” during World War II on the territory of today’s Czech Republic

We have added the data of 329 victims of the national socialist persecution of people labelled as “gypsies” on the grounds of today’s Czech Republic to the database of victims on our website holocaust.cz. All 329 people died in the so-called “gypsy camp” in Lety u Písku. The national socialist persecution of people labelled as “gypsies” hit most of the Roma and Sinti present on the territory of today’s Czech Republic during World War II. The public part of the database contains basic data of those who died during the whole period the camp existed, from August, 1942 till August, 1943: Name, date and place of birth, duration of imprisonment and date and place of death. Furthr data on prisoners of this camp are available only to registered users of the database due to privacy reasons. Questions concerning the database or individual victims can be addressed directly to ITI staff at database@terezinstudies.cz.
 

The project Database of victims of the national socialist persecution of „gypsies“ has been supported by Bader Philantropies during the years 2016-2020.
