Holocaust and Gypsy Culture

On the 4th of March 2015, as a part of Project ‘Comenius – connecting schools, building citizenship’ , there was a meeting with professor Krzysztof Żarna at our school. He told us about the history and tragic fate of Gypsies during Holocaust. It was a really interesting lesson for us. We got to know possible origins of Gypsies, why they were pursued and murdered. The professor told us about Gypsies’ living conditions and the conditions they died in. At the end of the meeting professor invited us to visit the place of Gypsies’ extermination in Auschwitz. This lesson made us think about the subject discussed and the time of the meeting wasn’t wasted for sure.
