The Forgotten Holocaust

The Genocide of Roma by the National Socialists is often called the forgotten Holocaust.

According to Jens-Christian Wagner, head of the Buchenwald memorial site, the commemoration of the mass deportation and murder of Sinti and Roma under National Socialism receives too little attention. “This is a topic that is in fact not nearly as present in public as the Shoah, i.e. the murder of European Jews,” Wagner told the German Press Agency.
