At Lety u Písku, Czech Republic, the demolition of what once was an industrial pig farm on sites where a concentration camp for Romani people was run during the Second World War has finally ended. The firm contracted for the work is now statically securing two buildings from the former feed hall which will be part of the exhibition there. The demolition began at the end of July and the Museum of Romani Culture wants to open a visitors’ center there in mid-2023 or at the start of 2024. Three bids were submitted to build the center but the museum has yet to select the winner. The museum has been counting on a cost of CZK 73.5 million [EUR 3 million] exclusive of VAT to build the center. Karolina Spielmannová, spokesperson for the museum, informed the Czech News Agency (ČTK) of the amount.
