The Association for Culture, Education and Communication (ACEC) participated in an international expert symposium held in Thessaloniki, Greece, on 27 January 2025, on the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The event took place within the framework of the ROMDIEM project and focused on commemorating the Roma Holocaust in a European context.
The symposium brought together historians, activists, and representatives of non-governmental organisations from seven countries. Discussions focused on the historical experiences of individual countries, the exchange of knowledge, and the presentation of the project’s expert and documentary outputs.
At the event, ACEC presented the Slovak perspective and the outputs implemented in Slovakia to date. The presentation included the results of field research, including in-depth interviews with experts and personal testimonies of descendants of Roma Holocaust survivors.
International cooperation within the ROMDIEM project enables the linking of local research and documentation activities with pan-European educational outputs. The recorded materials will be made accessible through a forthcoming digital archive and documentary film intended for both professional and wider audiences.
ROMDIEM is funded by the European Union programme CERV-2024-CITIZENS-REM (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values – Citizens’ Remembrance). The project will run from March 2025 to February 2027, building on the EU’s long-standing commitment to strengthening historical memory, education and social inclusion.
