Mapping the Genocide of the Roma in Hungary

Despite efforts by scholars and educators in the last decades, the history of the Roma remains underrepresented in education, research, and public discourse in Central Europe. Through an international partnership, the National Archives of Hungary develops an online portal dedicated to safeguarding the record of the wartime history of the Roma in Hungary, emphasising the Hungarian chapter of the Genocide of the Roma.
