Committee wants Czech govt to work for Lety pig farm's removal
Prague- The Czech committee for compensation of the Romany Holocaust victims today gave CTK a copy of an open letter it has sent to the government asking it to take steps to remove the pig farm in Lety, south Bohemia, that stands on the site of a World War Two camp in which Romanies were gathered.
The extermination attempts of the Roma in the Czech protectorate by the Nazis is one of the underreported features of WWII. One of the reasons given for that is that the Roma concentration camp near Pilsen was mostly staffed by Czechs. To add insult to injury there is now a pig farm on the site which the Czech government has so far failed to relocate.
