Germany, 1932
[Silent, 1:40]
This film shows a Romani (Gypsy) campsite near Berlin, Germany, in the last year of the Weimar Republic. Although Roma (Gypsies) had faced persecution in Germany even before the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the Nazis regarded them as racial enemies to be identified and killed. Tens of thousands of Roma were killed by the Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) in eastern Europe or were deported to killing centers in occupied Poland.
