About us
This project is dedicated to safeguarding the historical record of the persecution of the Roma in Hungary during World War II. Through an international partnership, the National Archives of Hungary develops an online portal that offers a digital catalogue of archival records, databases of victims, teaching modules, visualizations, images, and additional key information on the subject. Over the long term, this project aims to contribute to the deeper integration of Roma history in education, research, and public discourse in Central Europe.
