"Dear colleagues, I still would like to come back to the history of the Romany Gypsies. The present and its problems always have a connection to the past that we need to know. In particular, when it is about human tragedies, which followed the greatest Jewish tragedy, that are, however, forgotten, since they are the tragedies of smaller nations, such as the genocide of the Romany or Chechen-Ingush people carried out during the Second World War, and the Chechen genocide last year was acknowledged by the European Parliament. A week ago I visited a small exhibition in our Parliament that moved me. It seems this has already been discussed here. That was the former Romany concentration camp, Lety, in the present Czech Republic, at those times under Nazi occupation. Few exhibits, but they cannot leave one untouched. For example, that picture which is here – tens of small, lovely and merry children, obviously, black-haired and black-eyed, who are most probably condemned to death. And in the former camp buildings there is neither a museum nor a memorial place to respect the sufferings, but a piggery. Nobody would dare to treat the barracks of Auschwitz in this way; therefore, here we have unequal opportunities as well, even if we talk differently. I ask my colleagues from the Czech Republic to do their best to change the present situation at Lety. Thank you."@en1
