The Museum of Romani Culture opened a memorial at Lety, the site of a wartime camp for Roma and Sinti. The opening followed a long campaign by Roma activists and allies to remove a pig farm built over the former camp site and to create a memorial that foregrounds the people imprisoned there. The museum’s participatory approach and Roma leadership in recovering the site are central to its meaning.
