I am delighted to see the Bill that allows the building of a Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre next to Parliament. There may be more delays ahead, but they can now be a certainty that it will be built
During WW2, Lety in present-day Czechia was a concentration camp in which Roma and Sinti were detained. The Nazis and their Czech gendarme collaborators made Lety a Hell on Earth. Most were transferred to the killing camps in Nazi-occupied Poland, and few survived. Conditions were so bad that 300 were buried in a mass grave
The Czechoslovakian government built an industrial pig farm over the site.
After years of opposition from Roma Sinti, local activists, and @TheIHRA, the pig farm was closed, and a fitting Monument and Learning Centre was built.
It was an honour to speak at the opening on behalf of IHRA, alongside Roma and Sinti representatives, Czechia’s President, PM and Foreign Minister
With @TheIHRA #SafeguardingSites team, at the Warsaw Ghetto Museum offices, talking about plans for the museum and handling some objects from the excavations of the ghetto. Here we’re looking at a pair of dress making scissors (left) & a door handle and lock (right)
Today @TheIHRA #SafeguardingSites team visited the excavations of the Warsaw Ghetto. It’s now in a large waterproof marquee but the big question is, can the site be preserved as an open excavation or must it be backfilled? Personally I think the open trench is powerful.
We are proud to announce that the IHRA Charter for Safeguarding Sites was formally adopted at the Plenary. The IHRA Charter advocates for good practices in protecting sites and uses expert-informed risk mitigation strategies to do so.

I would add, that not only Jews, but also Roma people, polish, czech, russian pow, homosexuals, etc.
Raising awareness is important. #futureofremembrance We must #protectthefacts@TheIHRA
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Incredible powerful message (incredible speech writing)—to those who stumbled on the wrong path and may ruin their future for not knowing the past.
The weight of history

Today we present the highlights of #IHRAinDubrovnik, with an emphasis on the Professor Yehuda Bauer Farewell Ceremony and contributions made by 300 @TheIHRA delegates over four days in Working Groups, Committees and the Plenary Session!
The 🇨🇿delegation contributed to several meetings on #Holocaust education and #Roma genocide at @TheIHRA Plenary in #Gothenburg. We received appreciation for #TerezínDeclaration Conference and asked for international cooperation in saving the damaged Dresden Barracks in #Terezín.
After all those years, the pig farm at Lety u Písku will finaly be demolished. Next week the demolition will start. Thanks to everyone involved in this process of returning the place to the memory of the victims. @TheIHRA@muzeumromskeku1#letyupisku

Last week I was at Stockholm Plenary of @TheIHRA and as my son is too young, he was there with me and my husband. It was amazing And I have to thank @TheIHRA And Swedish presidency for the support And especially for a very special nametag. #IHRAinStockholm#TogetherForImpact
Dokud každý den umírají ve válce stovky lidí, musí nás být slyšet! Na jednání Mezinárodní aliance k připomínce holocaustu @TheIHRA ve Stockholmu jsme jednali o pomoci Ukrajině, předcházení genocid, Terezínu a situaci Romů. Navíc jsme podpořili #Izrael na předsednictví v r. 2025.
Getting ready for my first irl @TheIHRA meeting after two years. And with my baby son. Thanks to Museum of Romani culture, Permanent Office of IHRA And @ann_bernes And Swedish presidency for making this possible.#IHRA#ihrainstockholm
@smucler@JiriVoller@PetrHonzejk@veselovskyma Řekla bych, že trollové mají lepší věci na práci než náhodného zubaře co se vyjadřuje k věcem o kterých vím tužku ale jeho ego mu nedovoluje si to přiznat. :)
