- Summary:
- How can we write a comprehensive, transnational history of the Porrajmos, one that captures the cumulative nature of anti-Gypsy persecution across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland from 1870 to 1945? 'The Nazi Genocide of the Sinti and Roma Peoples' traces the evolution of policies targeting the so-called 'Gypsies,' moving beyond national boundaries to reveal a shared regional logic of exclusion and biopolitical control. While Holocaust historiography has long focused on the genocide of European Jews, the Porrajmos, the genocide of the Sinti and Roma, has only recently been recognized as a distinct history of systematic suffering and destruction.
