On Monday, 27 January at 18:00 the documentary film "LETY" will be screened at BIO OKO in Prague, followed by a discussion among invited guests on the broader context of the Holocaust of the Roma in Bohemia.
27 January was declared International Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2005 by the United Nations to commemorate the millions of victims of the systematic murder and persecution by the Nazi regime of the Third Reich.
"We consider it very important that facts about the Holocaust and its Romani victims become better known by the public, because today we are witnessing a situation in which this information is being called into question.
We have intentionally chosen to follow the screening of the documentary with a discussion - this film corrects the record with respect to some of the speculation that has arisen about the scandal of the Lety camp and reveals a new context in which to view it, while the debate should offer a broader reflection on how the subject of genocide here is dealt with in the public space," film producer Renata Berkyová said.
