The EU-Council of Europe Joint Programme Roma Holocaust Remembrance and Education – Roma Memory supported the commemoration ceremony in Auschwitz-Birkenau, through events organised by the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, by the international Roma youth network ternYpe and by the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC).
Members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe formed an ad-hoc group led by President Rousopoulos and G. Stamatis, PACE General Rapporteur on Roma and Travellers. Representatives of public authorities who participated in the EU/CoE JP RomaMemory training on Roma Holocaust remembrance and education also gave international presence at the ceremony. Both groups of international delegates were then invited to join the meeting of youth with Roma Holocaust survivors within the “Dikh He Na Bister” youth initiative, which was a privileged moment, considering the rare opportunities to still meet the Holocaust survivors.
Building on the Recommendations of the Council of Europe (CM/Rec (2020)2) on the inclusion of the history of Roma and/or Travellers in school curricula and teaching materials, while recognising that Roma and Travellers’ longstanding historical presence in Europe is still not adequately acknowledged in educational systems, the Council of Europe and European Union continue to advance the fight against discrimination and antigypsyism, and to promote the recognition, remembrance and history education through JP RomaMemory. These efforts are in strong compliance with the EU Roma Strategic Framework and Council of Europe’s Strategic Action Plan for Roma and Traveller Inclusion 2020 – 2025.
