The publication by historian Jiri Smlsal presents the course of the racial persecution of Roma and Sinti on our territory during the Second World War, its social preconditions and specific actors, perpetrators and victims. It deals with the functioning of the Protectorate concentration camps at Lety u Pisku and Hodonin u Kunstatu and the mass transports of Roma to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. It presents the stories of Czech and Moravian Roma who became victims of the Holocaust, and attempts to capture their experience of persecution, the possibilities of resistance and the neglect of their voice in post-war society. It emphasises the hitherto little explored topic of property persecution as part of the Roma Holocaust and provides numerous documents on the confiscation of Roma property. In addition to the direct confiscation of victims' property, it also focuses on the topic of corruption, bribery and extortion of Roma by Protectorate police officers. The book draws on the memories of witnesses as well as archival sources from the Nazi security forces and post-war retributive trials.
