W piątek, 23 października, w Bełżcu uczczono pamięć Romów i Sinti, którzy padli ofiarą niemieckiego obozu pracy z 1940 roku. Przy pomniku w dawnym parku podworskim „Lipki” złożono kwiaty i zapalono znicze. Uroczystość odbyła się w związku z 14. rocznicą odsłonięcia monumentu.

Wśród uczestników uroczystości znaleźli się wójt gminy Bełżec Mateusz Jarosz, sekretarz gminy Brygida Pasierbiewicz oraz kierownik Muzeum i Miejsca Pamięci w Bełżcu Ewa Koper wraz z pracownikami placówki. Obecni byli także przedstawiciele miejscowych instytucji: dyrektor Zespołu Szkolno-Przedszkolnego Alina Przednowek, wicedyrektor Alicja Malec, dyrektor Biblioteki Publicznej Irena Wiciejowska oraz dyrektor Gminnego Ośrodka Kultury Anna Lentowicz.

Przy pomniku zgromadzili się także harcerze z 23. Drużyny Harcerskiej „Ekoharce” pod opieką Doroty Karwańskiej-Mazurkiewicz, uczniowie klas ósmych Szkoły Podstawowej im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Bełżcu oraz uczniowie Szkoły Podstawowej im. Księdza Stanisława Sudoła w Wiązownicy.

Tragiczna historia obozu pracy w Bełżcu

Wiosną 1940 roku Niemcy utworzyli w Bełżcu obóz pracy przymusowej, do którego trafiali Romowie z okupowanych ziem polskich oraz Sinti deportowani z III Rzeszy. Więziono tam całe rodziny, w tym kobiety i dzieci. Mężczyzn zmuszano do ciężkiej pracy przy kopaniu rowu przeciwczołgowego wzdłuż ówczesnej granicy niemiecko-sowieckiej.

Więźniowie przebywali w skrajnie trudnych warunkach. Głód, choroby i wycieńczenie doprowadziły do śmierci wielu z nich. Zmarłych grzebano na terenie dawnego parku podworskiego „Lipki”, gdzie 26 października 2012 roku odsłonięto pomnik poświęcony ich pamięci.

Tegoroczna uroczystość była okazją do przypomnienia tragicznych wydarzeń sprzed 86 lat. Wspólne złożenie kwiatów i zapalenie zniczy stanowiło wyraz pamięci o ofiarach niemieckich prześladowań, a udział młodzieży podkreślił znaczenie przekazywania wiedzy o tej historii kolejnym pokoleniom.
