Forced Registration and Racial Classification of Roma

From 1940 onward, the Slovak State introduced measures that formally defined who counted as “Gypsy” and expanded surveillance and control through identification and movement restrictions, laying the administrative groundwork for later forced labour and internment policies. These measures embedded antigypsyism into daily administrative practice, turning prejudice into an enforceable system.
