This is Pa Reilly  and Gabi Muntean - we are raising money to bring 10 young Roma and Travellers to visit Auschwitz and learn about the Roma Holocaust.  This trip will take place from 29th July to 3rd August and we will meet Holocaust survivors.  Under the rule of Nazi Germany, the Roma were persectued, detained and executed as part of the Holocaust. Roma call the Holocaust the Porajmos, which means the 'Devouring' in Romani language.There are many stories - many histories of Roma Holocaust victims - that are still waiting to be told, waiting to be recognised and commemorated. We want to play our part in doing this."We have an opportunity to remember people of my community who suffered, to educate our younger generations and to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone again," said Gabi.  "As a Traveller man, who has shared similarities with the Roma community, I feel personally that this is a great opportunity to show solidarity and to highlight the atrocities experienced by Roma during the Holocaust," said Pa.   When we return we will present our experiences at Pavee Point on the 5th of September.  You are very welcome to come along.  RSVP - [email protected]  Go to our website for full information www.paveepoint.ie
