Gypsies

Many do not realize that the Holocaust killed 500,000 Gypsies'. They went through the same hardships Jews did, with discriminations spreading through Western Europe. Gypsies were considered by the Nazi's as "asocial". They were seen as racially alien people who lowered the "Aryan Race". The Gypsies were viewed by the Nazi's with racial stereotypes of dark-skinned thieves, pickpockets, swindlers, beggars, and fortunetellers, incarcerating them as criminals. They were separated from the German community even at the beginning of the twentieth century, where certain restrictions were placed if they could not prove local residency and occupation.

In the beginning of this program the ages, which these experiments were going on, were from 1-3 years of age. Then it progressed to 1-5 and more, until it reached the teens. Due to the fact that a great number of records were lost, it was said that 5,200 children were killed through this program, but it is more likely, there were a higher number of them killed.
