The farm only closed in 2018. A memorial is planned to open in 2023″. Text on the sticker: “Jolly Pig from Lety, made of pork meat raised on the graves of Romani Holocaust victims. Uncooked meat product”.
Text on the poster: “With every meal, we are remembering the Romani Holocaust” “Jolly Pig from Lety, made of pork meat raised on the graves of Romani Holocaust victims. Uncooked meat product”. Do you really know what kind of meat you’re eating? Romane Kale Panthera The art group ROMANE KALE PANTHERA was established as a reaction to anti-Roma marches (2012) in the Czech Republic. Based on such events, people in affected areas had to make a decision: change their attitudes and mainly take a stand on the basis of their ethnicity. People who lived normal lives became activists. RKP group consists of Romani and non-Romani artists, intellectuals and activists.
