On 2 August 1944, the "Gypsy camp" at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp was liquidated. Despite resistance by the Roma, almost 3,000 men, women, and children were loaded on trucks, taken to gas chambers and exterminated. When the camp was liberated in January 1945, only 4 Roma remained alive. The fate of Roma people during the Second World War is still unknown to the general public. The facts about tens of thousands of Roma murdered in the occupied Eastern territories still call for recognition.
