One of the largest tragedies to shake both the Roma community and public opinion in Hungary after the regime change was the series of attacks against Roma, which occurred fifteen years ago, claiming six lives, including that of a five-year-old boy, Robika Csorba. At Romano Kher on February 23rd, a commemoration was jointly organized by the Erzsébetváros Municipality, the Phiren Amenca International Network, and the Romano Kher Budapest Roma Cultural Center. In his speech at the event, Balázs Szücs, the Deputy Mayor responsible for cultural, religious, and civil affairs in Erzsébetváros, highlighted the tragedy and emphasized the need to move towards building a better, more peaceful Hungary.

Civil organizations have initiated a petition to declare February 23rd as the official Memorial Day for attacks against Roma, as indicated by Balázs Szűcs, who stated that Erzsébetváros unanimously supported the initiative. In her speech, Marietta Herfort, the Director of the Phiren Amenca International Network, emphasized that a society based on hatred cannot be the future. "There is an urgent need for a national minimum against incitement to hatred. February 23rd should become a memorial day that rings the alarm bell against the spread of extremist ideologies and encourages our society to protect vulnerable and threatened minorities," she stressed. She stated that Roma living in Hungary are equal Hungarian citizens, and no one and nothing can diminish this right. "We must create a society and a country where there is no room for fear or hatred, where both the living and the deceased receive equal respect and appreciation," she emphasized.

"We must ensure that after fifteen years there is finally a worthy memorial site where we can pay tribute to the six victims of the series of murders against Roma. It should be a memorial site that not only expresses the pain of the Roma community but also the grief of democratic, good-hearted Hungarian people, and at the same time warns future generations of the consequences of extremist ideologies and hatred," he believed. Marietta Herfort urged the declaration of the memorial day for well-known reasons.

In the gallery of Romano Kher, photographs taken by Balázs Turay, a photographer, during the trial of the murder series, as well as portraits of survivors' family members, can be viewed for over a month.
