National Day of Remembrance of Roma killed in World War II observed
Jabuka,
16 December 2012
Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic said today in Jabuka near Pancevo that Serbia is marking all the events of past suffering with the hope that such crimes and ethnic hatred will never happen again.
At a commemoration of the National Day of Remembrance for the Roma victims of World War II, Dacic said the genocide that took place at the site was one of the most tragic episodes of World War II.
The genocide against the Roma in World War II is one of the most tragic episodes of that armed conflict, but it has been almost completely forgotten by modern generations, he said.
Dacic said that today's ceremony was held in memory of 16 December 1942, when Heinrich Himmler gave the order for a systematic deportation of Roma, who were sent to death camps.
The National Day of Remembrance of Roma victims killed in World War II was marked at the site of mass graves of civilians killed in World War II, at the memorial complex "Stratiste" in Jabuka near Pancevo.
The organiser of the state commemorative ceremony is the Committee for preserving the tradition of Serbian liberation wars.
