    Today we remember the victims and survivors of the genocide of the Roma. Commemorating the genocide of the Roma is the task not solely of Roma communities, but of all of society.

    It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Honorary Chairman, Yehuda Bauer. He left an indelible mark on both the IHRA and the field of Holocaust studies, and his moral guidance, insight, and friendship will be sorely missed: bit.ly/3YxrSjK

    80 years ago today, in Auschwitz-Birkenau, thousands of Roma voices were silenced. On 2 August, we remember the resilience of the Roma community and honor the lives lost. Let us #ProtectTheFacts and spread awareness of the historical truth of the genocide of the Roma.

    Only 5-10% of the original camp documents survive in @AuschwitzMuseum archives, after authorities' efforts to destroy evidence of their crimes. In this podcast, hear about the history of the collections and precious artefacts donated by family members:
