Far too often, the Holocaust during WWII is associated merely with the Jewish persecution.
However, there is another genocide that is frequently forgotten; a genocide where hundreds
of thousands of Roma also fell victim and were too persecuted by the Nazi regime.
After centuries of persecution, Europe's Roma were also faced with the threat of extermina-
tion under the Nazi regime, because they were counter to ‘the norm’ as defined by the Nazis.
Throughout the Third Reich, Roma as well as other minority groups were subjected to perse-
cution and genocide. During this time, anti-ziganist legislation was passed in Germany de-
grading Roma to second-class citizens and depriving them of their civil rights. German au-
thorities subjected Roma to arbitrary internment, forced labour and mass murder as they were
officially recognised as ‘non-Aryan’ and ‘racially inferior’. The SS and police incarcerated
Roma in various concentration camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Dieselstrasse,
Sachsenhausen and elsewhere with the objective of eliminating all Roma in Europe. It is esti-
mated that between 220,000 - 1.5 million Roma were murdered (70-80% of the Roma popu-
lation in Germany, and approximately 25% of all of Europe’s Roma).
Even after the Holocaust and despite their long-term presence in Europe, Roma remain the
largest minority to suffer such large scale discrimination and persecution on the continent.
Living primarily on the margins of society, they face segregation and many obstacles in that
their everyday lives particularly in regards to education, employment, housing and
healthcare.
This booklet aims to provide information on Roma and non-Roma stakeholders whose work
focuses on the Holocaust and Roma related issues and also to raise awareness about the Ro-
ma Holocaust and share information about different sources on the topic. It is organised in
two parts; the first part includes a bibliography on the Roma Holocaust and sources dealing
with this topic. The second part includes names of organisations working on the Roma Holo-
caust or Holocaust victims in general.
This booklet has been produced as part of the project ‘Remembering the Forgotten Porajmos’
funded by the European Commission’s programme Europe for Citizens – Action 4 ‘Active
Remembrance’.
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication [communication]
reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be
made of the information contained therein.
