Sinti and Roma Holocaust

The Sinti and Roma Holocaust refers to the systematic persecution and genocide of the Sinti and Roma people by the Nazi regime during World War II. Estimated to be between 220,000 and 1.5 million Sinti and Roma were murdered in what the Nazis called the "Final Solution." They faced discrimination, forced sterilization, and were sent to concentration camps where many died through inhumane conditions. The atrocity is often overshadowed by the Jewish Holocaust, but it is a crucial part of history that highlights the broader scope of Nazi racial policies against marginalized groups.
