Roma gather to remember victims of Lety

On Saturday, roughly seventy members of the Roma community gathered in Lety near Pisek, the site of a WWII concentration camp where 326 Roma died, to remember the victims. Survivors of the camp and their families were present, and representatives from the Slovak and German embassies placed wreaths at the monument to the victims of the Roma Holocaust. President Vaclav Klaus also sent a memorial wreath.

A controversial pig farm which occupies part of the land of the former WWII camp is expected to be dealt with following the June elections.
