Roma and Sinti

The Roma and Sinti are nomadic tribes who migrated to Europe from northern India and Pakistan. They have long been persecuted and referred to as "Gypsies," a term now considered derogatory. Declared “racially inferior” by the Nazis, they were subjected to discrimination, forced labor, internment, and murder. Between 250,000 and 500,000 Sinti and Roma were murdered by the Nazis during World War II.
