The Memorial Day honours the memory of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, as well as other victims of persecution during World War II, including Roma victims. It was established by the Prime Minister's Office on 20 February 2001.
In Finland, the Roma and Sinti genocide is officially commemorated on 27 January.
