Published by:

Wilhelm Leuschner, a German social democrat and union activist is known in Germany as an anti-fascist and resistant. What is less known is that, while interior minister of the State of Hessen, he introduced strict anti-Roma policies, including forced fingerprinting and registration of the Sinti and Roma in Hessen.
This information was later used to deport and kill them.
