The Czech Republic is one of many countries marking Roma Holocaust Memorial Day on 2 August, the day in 1944 when it is estimated that between 4,200 and 4,400 Roma were murdered in Auschwitz. Up to half a million Roma were murdered in total, including over ninety percent of the pre-war Roma and Sinti population of what is now the Czech Republic.
