"The Belarusian Romany Association "Roma" plans to erect memorials on the sites of mass executions of Belarusian Gypsies by the Nazis during World War II. According to Aleksandr Bosyatsky, Roma advisor for national issues, Europe's only Romany concentration camp was in Belarus, and more than 800 prisoners were slaughtered there in 1942 and 1943. In addition, according to Mr. Bosyatsky, 830 Gypsies were massacred in Uzda, the Minsk region, and about a thousand in Glubokoye, the Vitebsk region. According to Mr. Bosyatsky, Belarusian Gypsies who suffered from the Nazis currently receive humanitarian aid from Belarus' Understanding and Reconciliation Fund and Switzerland's Holocaust victims fund. Compensations to Gypsy victims of Nazism will be discussed at a congress of the Internationale Romani Union in Rotterdam on April 8, 2000, said Mr. Bosyatsky."
