An analysis should soon be undertaken in the Czech Republic to map the property owned by Romani people living in the Czech lands during the interwar period that was subsequently confiscated from them by authorities between 1938 and 1945 during the Nazi German occupation; the analysis should serve as a background material for establishing a compensation procedure. The new Strategy for the Equality, Inclusion and Participation of Roma 2021-2030 counts on performing such an analysis and was approved by the Czech Government at its most recent cabinet session. According to the Holocaust.cz website, the authorities of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939–1945) ultimately deported more than 5 500 Romani people from the Czech lands to the Auschwitz death camp. After the war, roughly one-tenth of that 5 500 returned to their homes. The website also reminds people of the Protectorate-era camps at Hodonín u Kunštátu and Lety u Písku and their role in that process. “The Government of the Czech Republic has not yet taken the step of fairly compensating Romani people for the property confiscated from them during the Second World War,” the new Strategy states.
According to that document, this would be an important, symbolic step in the process of reconciliation. The Strategy calls for producing an analysis of the property held by Romani and Sinti people living in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia during the interwar period. The analysis should then facilitate the creation of a compensation mechanism and the subsequent compensation of the victims. The Committee for the Redress of the Roma Holocaust in the Czech Republic, which brings together Holocaust victims who are Romani and their relatives, is meant to collaborate on the analysis with the Human Rights Section of the Office of the Czech Government and the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes.
