Porajmos

Porajmos, also known as the Romani Holocaust, refers to the systematic persecution and extermination of Roma (Gypsies) by Nazi Germany during World War II. Between 1940 and 1945, hundreds of thousands of Roma were murdered, deported to concentration camps, or subjected to deadly experiments, reflecting a targeted effort to erase their population and culture. The Porajmos is a tragic chapter in human history, highlighting the discrimination and violence faced by Roma communities under totalitarian regimes. It emphasizes the importance of remembering these victims to promote awareness, justice, and tolerance.
