Education and cultural centre of the Jewish museum in Prague,
Maiselova 15, Praha 1

The exhibition was created by the Museum of Romani Culture in Brno, Czech Republic.
Dealing with the questions of Roma genocide during the Second World War, it focuses on the Czech lands in that time. The holocaust of the Gipsy population started here with establishment of the so-called gypsy camps in Lety and Hodonin, continuing by transporation of Czech Roma into Auschwitz and other extermination camps. 90% of the Czech pre-war Roma population was killed during this period.
