In commemorating the deportation of Sinti and Roma from Munich on March 13, 1943, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial is hosting a thematic tour entitled 'Sinti and Roma in the Dachau Concentration Camp' on Saturday, March 14. This event aligns with international weeks against racism, shedding light on the historical injustices faced by these communities during and after the Holocaust.

From 1938 onward, many Sinti and Roma were forcibly taken to Dachau, where they were often subjected to harsh conditions and were relegated to the lower tiers of the prisoner hierarchy. Many enduring challenges persisted even after 1945, with ongoing discrimination highlighting the need for recognition and remembrance of this historically marginalized group. The tour will utilize numerous biographical examples to narrate the stories of those who were persecuted, helping to educate about a part of history that has been largely forgotten.

The meeting point for the tour is at the visitor center of the Dachau Memorial, starting at 2 PM. Tickets are available online from the Munich Adult Education Center and at the visitor center's information desk. The tour is intended for individuals aged 13 and older, making it an accessible opportunity for youth and adults alike to engage with this important aspect of history.
