Although World War II affected the lives of all inhabitants of the Bohemian lands (today’s Czech Republic) and Slovakia, only two communities – Jews and Roma – experienced genocide during the war, with entire families perishing and most of their members being sent to concentration or labor camps. When members of these two communities tried to seek recognition of their suffering after the war, they encountered many obstacles. Based on the analysis of concrete individual claims, the presentation will discuss similarities and differences in the recognition of the wartime suffering of the two communities.
