The NUT has produced a set of resources for teaching about the holocaust including a poster and leaflet specifically relating to Gypsies. You will find a link to these materials under links – TEACHING
Throughout history, the Romany and Sinti people (commonly referred to as “Gypsies”) have been discriminated against and treated differently in the countries they have settled in. During the period of 1933-1945 the level of persecution was increased considerably, as the prejudice of the Nazi regime and its collaborators led to widespread violence and even murder. This experience is usually referred to by Gypsies as the “porrajmos” – the “devouring” or the “destruction”.
