About the Encyclopaedia
The Encyclopaedia of the Nazi Genocide of the Sinti and Roma in Europe is the first comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge on the persecution and murder of the Sinti and Roma under National Socialism and during the Second World War (1933–1945). More than 100 authors from 25 countries (as of July 2024) are involved. The articles on the history and aftermath of the genocide, also known as the ‘Holocaust of the Sinti and Roma’, are constantly being updated and expanded. They are available in English and German.
Our Recommendation
The encyclopedia is user-friendly. It can be navigated from A to Z or searched by thematic focus, location, person, keyword, and author. A chronology lists significant events related to the genocide. Additionally, photographs and maps illustrate the extent of the persecution and murder of the Sinti and Roma in Europe. We recommend the encyclopedia not only for educators but also for use in educational settings with young people.
