Annotation
The Holocaust of the Roma and Sinti represents an open wound to the coexistence between various cultures, not only in the Czech context, but also in the European one. This rupture, which causes and consequences go far beyond the existence of the so-called Gypsy camp into the past and the present, can only be healed through the quest for a common dialogue. The proposal for the Memorial in Lety u Písku attempts to initiate a polyphonic dialogue through landscape and architectural means. It seeks to remind and reveal the individual layers, to understand the relationships between them and to further develop the diversity of the place, witness of this bent destiny.
