The Nazi assault on the Romani peoples of Europe that resulted in the death of more than half their population is often ignored. Roma and Sinti have long suffered persecution and violence, and they continue to be the targets of discrimination in contemporary Europe.
This program will start with a presentation and Q&A with Carol Silverman at 1:30 p.m. followed by the film screening at 3:30 p.m.
Update: Amanda Schreiber is not available to attend and won't be a part of the presentation and Q&A.
This event is FREE with Museum admission!
