Deportation of Roma to Concentration Camps

Roma from across Slovakia were rounded up and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and other concentration camps, where many perished due to starvation, disease, forced labour, or extermination. These deportations formed part of the Porajmos—the Roma Holocaust—and represented the culmination of years of escalating racial persecution.
