The Holocaust in Estonia refers to the Nazi crimes during the occupation of Estonia by Nazi Germany. Roma people of Estonia were also murdered and enslaved by the Nazi occupiers and their collaborators. Estonia treats equally all victims of genocides and crimes against Humanity which took place on the territory of Estonia during the period of occupation, i.e. starting from 16th June 1940 to 20th August 1991 and including the period of World War II. Since 27th January 2003 Estonia officially commemorates the Holocaust Remembrance Day, on 27th January, when official statements are made by different governmental parties and one of the speeches is given by a governmental representative, in which the fate of the Roma related to the Holocaust in Estonia is always mentioned.
