Background:
Auschwitz Birkenauen – BII – Zigeuner Familienlager – Gypsy Family Concentration Camp August the 2nd 1944
In this night 2885 – 6000 Roma and Sinti, mainly women and children where gassed. Jewish Survivours reported that the crematory burned the whole night. “It stayed bright the whole night because of the burning crematories”. A surviving Jew said „The Women were fighting for the life of their children, even a couple of SS-people got injured by the Roma Women“. It was also a Day of rebellion, that’s sadly ended in Gas chambers and crematory. On August 3rd, Ausschwitz – Birkenau was „Zigeunerfrei“ (Free of Gypsies)

RIP Robby und Robby
