Lety concentration camp, Holocaust memorial site near Písek, Czech Republic

The memorial complex includes exhibition spaces, educational facilities, and outdoor installations documenting the persecution of Roma and Sinti people during World War II.

Between 1942 and 1943, over 1,300 Roma and Sinti people were imprisoned at this location before their deportation to Auschwitz concentration camp.

The Museum of Romani Culture manages this memorial site, preserving documents and artifacts that tell the stories of Roma families during the Nazi occupation.

The memorial site provides guided tours in multiple languages and contains research facilities for scholars studying Roma and Sinti history during World War II.

After decades of operating as a pig farm, the site was transformed into a memorial space in 2023 to honor the 326 people who died at this location.
