The 60th anniversary of the Roma holocaust is being marked this week at Auschwitz and elsewhere.
In August 1944, the Nazis killed all those in the camp they had created for the Roma, or Gypsies, who like Jews were singled out for extermination.
Roma leaders from across the world are gathering at Auschwitz camp in southern Poland on Monday to commemorate the date.
It is the largest act of remembrance ever for Roma victims of the holocaust.
At the concentration camp, Roma leaders will take part in a large rally to the crematoria.
