Description

Dr. Anna Mirga-Kruszelnicka, Deputy Director of the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture advises on how to teach about the devastating history of the Roma Holocaust. To ensure that the stories of Roma during the Second World War are both fully acknowledged and understood in the context of antigypsyism, she presents many valuable resources created by the Institute, museums, the Council of Europe, and many more available materials that firmly place Roma voices at the centre of their own history.
