The exhibition, organised in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Latvia to the Czech Republic, presents the troubled life of the Roma on the territory of Latvia during World War II. After the invasion of the Nazis, all the Roma were concentrated in the cities Rezekno, Ludza and Vilaň. The Nazis killed 1500 Latvian Roma people in systematic torture and mass executions in the woods.
