The Roma Genocide carried out before and during the Second World War
has deeply impacted on Roma communities across Europe and plays a cen-
tral role in understanding the prevailing antigypsyism and discrimination
against Roma. Learning about the Genocide is very important for all young
people. For Roma young people it is also a way to understand what was
perpetrated against their communities, and to help them come to terms
with their identity and situation today.
Involving young people, including Roma youth, in researching, discussing
and discovering the meanings of the Roma Genocide is a way to involve
them as agents and actors in their own understanding of human rights and
of history.
Right to Remember includes educational activities, as well as ideas for com-
memoration events, and information about the Genocide and its relevance
to the situation of the Roma people today. It has been designed primarily
for youth workers in non-formal settings, but it will be useful for anyone
working in education, including in schools. Vissza
