Lety - Almost 60 years ago the Czechoslovak government issued a decree No. 72 on disciplinary work camps for "uncooperative members of the society", which largely meant Roma people. Then August 1940 saw two camps opened - Lety u Písku and Hodonín u Kunštátu. More than 1,300 Roma prisoners were interned in Lety. 327 died in the camp. Three years later the Roma camp in Lety was closed. The remaining prisoners were taken to concentration camp in Auswitz where they died in gas chambers. Despite the long years of protests and petitions for a proper memorial, the pig farm has remained until today. New HRs minister Michael Kocáb has recently pledged to do more.
