It took 50 years, but the Czech Republic finally recognized a pig farm on the site of a Nazi-era 'Roma camp' was a disgrace to the memory of its victims.
The piggery, a giant industrial operation, stood on the remnants of the Nazi-era Roma concentration camp where some of his ancestors died. It lay near Lety, about 80 kilometers south of Prague, and was built in the early 1970s after the Communist regime rejected a proposal to build a Romani Holocaust memorial there. It took 50 years for the country to recognize the farm was a disgrace to the memory of those held in the camp and to flatten it.
When the surname was changed to a traditional Roma name, the number of those refusing to let it rose to 60%. Zdenek Serinek’s grandfather, Josef Serinek, was also held at Lety, and was the only one of his entire family to survive the war. Josef managed to escape the camp and, while on the run, became a prominent member of the Czech resistance movement.
