Description

The Baranka Park Remembrance Ceremony, which is held on 20 June 2015, aims to remind Vienna’s residents about the Roma and Sinto who were deported by the Gestapo in 1941, thereby sending a clear signal against forgetting. By doing so, we are reminded that the concentration camp system was not a historical mishap but a politically designed deathtrap, which was opened and operated according to carefully laid plans. Schoolchildren were also involved in the ceremony.

in German:
Die „Baranka-Park-Gedenkfeier“, die am 20.6.2015 stattfindet, hat zum Ziel, in Wien lebende Menschen an die Roma und Sinti, die von der Gestapo im Jahr 1941 verschleppt wurden, zu erinnern und so ein Zeichen gegen das Vergessen zu setzen. Es wurde so in Erinnerung gehalten, dass das KZ-System kein Unfall der Geschichte war, sondern eine politisch gewollte Todesfalle, die planmäßig eröffnet und betrieben wurde. Bei der Feier wirkten auch SchülerInnen mit.
