This year we marked the 65th anniversary of the liquidation by the Nazis of the so-called Gypsy family camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau. On the night of August 2/3, 1944, the Nazis murdered 2,897 men, women, and children in the gas chamber—the last of the approximately 23 thousand Roma deported to Auschwitz. In Oś you will find extensive coverage of the observances, fragments of accounts recalling the events of 65 years ago, and information about a new volume in the Voices of Memory series, dedicated to the story of the Roma prisoners of Auschwitz.

Marszałek had suspended the administrative proceeding for one year, citing work on a new municipal zoning ordinance.
