Historian Joey Rauschenberger presents a nuanced analysis of post-war reparations for the Genocide for Sinti and Roma, revealing surprising findings.
A 1956 ruling by the Federal Court of Justice exemplifies judicial error, stating that the racial persecution of “Gypsies” began only in March 1943, dismissing earlier actions as mere police measures.
