Sinti

Sinti are a subgroup of the Romani people, traditionally originating from Central Europe, particularly Germany and surrounding countries. They have their own language, Sinti Romanes, and distinct cultural practices, but share heritage and history with other Romani groups. Historically, Sinti have faced discrimination and marginalization, especially during the Holocaust when many were persecuted by the Nazi regime. Today, they continue to preserve their cultural identity while often living within broader European societies. Understanding Sinti involves recognizing their rich cultural traditions, resilience, and the importance of acknowledging their experiences within European history.
