Before the Second World War, Helena Malíková grew up in Uherské Hradiště, a town in Czechoslovakia, where her family lived with other Roma in a settlement of old freight wagons lined up behind a sugar factory, near the Morava River. About 150 families lived in the converted train cars. Malíková and her family had the only brick house. Hundreds of thousands of Roma people, once derisively referred to with the slur Gypsies, were killed by the Nazis. It was recorded in May 1991 and is now featured in “Testimonies of Roma and Sinti,” a new database devoted to the Romani genocide of World War II.
