This year on May 16th 2021, we, the Roma community in Europe, came together in a transnational initiative – across borders, generations and genders – to mark the 77th anniversary of the Romani Uprising at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp.
Together, we held Romani Resistance marches and commemorative activities in around 100 Roma communities across Europe, and stood united against the spread of far-right, nationalist and populist movements.
We are grateful to all the international, national and grassroots Romani organisations who took part in the event and to all members of our community who took ownership of the initiative and made this year’s Romani Resistance Day one to remember!
Watch our video, relive these inspiring moments and join us in “keeping the flame of Romani Resistance alive”!
