Expansion of the Database of victims: we have made available also data on the victims of the Nazi’s racist persecution of
Roma, Sinti and other people labelled as gypsies
during World War II on the territory of today’s Czech Republic
We have added the data of 329 victims of the national socialist persecution of people labelled as gypsies
on the grounds
of today’s Czech Republic to the database of victims on our website holocaust.cz. All 329 people died in the so-called gypsy camp
in Lety
u Písku. The national socialist persecution of people labelled as gypsies
hit most of the Roma and Sinti present on the
territory of today’s Czech Republic during World War II. The public part of the database contains basic data of those who
died during the whole period the camp existed, from August, 1942 till August, 1943: Name, date and place of birth, duration
of imprisonment and date and place of death. Furthr data on prisoners of this camp are available only to registered users
of the database due to privacy reasons. Questions concerning the database or individual victims can be addressed directly
to Institut Terezínské iniciativy staff at database@terezinstudies.cz.
The project Database of victims of the national socialist persecution of „gypsies“ has been supported by Bader Philantropies during the years 2016-2020.
