Forced Labour of Roma Men

Roma men were conscripted into forced labour camps and deployed on infrastructure and military-related projects under harsh and often inhumane conditions. Families were left without breadwinners, exacerbating poverty and vulnerability. Forced labour functioned both as economic exploitation and as a punitive measure rooted in racial ideology that portrayed Roma as expendable labour.
