Recruitment to the project – Chelmno on the Ner
The former extermination camp in Chelmno on the Ner is one of the most important points on the map of the martyrdom of the Roma and Sinti during the Second World War. On 3 August 2016, a monument was unveiled dedicated to the Roma and Sinti who were sent to this German camp from the Lodz Ghetto in January 1942 and were murdered there. In total, some 4,300 Roma from various countries died in this camp. The camp was the first centre created by the Germans for the sole purpose of carrying out mass executions.
