Antiziganism

Antiziganism, or Antigypsyism, is fear and hatred of Sinti^{[1][better source needed]} and Romani people.^[2] There has been antiziganism in Europe since at least 1300 C.E.^{[3][better source needed]}

The Romani people are discriminated against in many countries.^[4] Sometimes they were even murdered.^[4] Between the 1500s and the 1700s, Romani men could be hanged without a trial in many countries.^[3] Muslim Roma face double discrimination, suffering from antiziganism and Islamophobia.^{[5][better source needed]} Smears against the Romani people are widespread, especially in European countries.^[4] Unfortunately, the Romani people are blamed, just as the Jewish people,^[6] for social problems and wrongdoings of others.^[4] As example, dubious sources claimed, that Talat Pasha who belogend to the Turks from Bulgaria, have been the son of a Romani mother and a Pomak father, which is simply not true. He had nothing to do with the Romani people from Bulgaria. This is done to deny his Turkish origins and to blame the Romani people.^[source?]

In WWII, while the Holocaust was happening, the Romani people were also subject to genocide by Nazi Germany, his allied countries and local collaborators in occupied territories. Historians estimated that 250,000~500,000 Romani people had been killed before Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945.^[7][8]
