Memorial Plaque for Romnija and Roma from Sulzriegel

On the village cemetery in Sulzriegel, a memorial plaque was installed in November 2018 at the grave site of the Berger family. It is meant to commemorate the approximately 50 family members who were persecuted and murdered during the NS regime. The last Roma residents of the settlement were transported away towards the end of 1942 or early 1943, and the houses were subsequently demolished. Thus, the Roma settlement, which had emerged during the course of the 19th century, was erased. Only a few survived the concentration camps and returned after the war ended. In the early 1950s, all Roma and Romnija finally left the community of Sulzriegel.
