A delegation of the Comité International Rom lay a wreath of flowers in memory of Roma and Travellers in KL-Natzweiler, the Struthof concentration camp in Alsace, in April 1972. Nearly 22,000 internees, many of them Roma, died in the camp. “Delegation of the Comité International Rom de Paris” is only correct in the sense the people pictured had come from Paris, rather than “de Paris” being part of the name of the organization. Second in a series of photographs related this commemoration.
