After the war, around 600 Sinti lived in the GDR. While they continued to be discriminated against in the West even after the Holocaust, in the socialist state they should have had equal rights as citizens. But that was only partially true. In the GDR, little was known about this minority. Sinti from the GDR have only recently begun to speak publicly about their history.
