Introduction of the National Register of Gypsies
On 1 August 1940, Hungary introduced a nationwide, fingerprint-based registry for Roma, marking an early step toward racialised control. Within nine months, the Gendarmerie’s Central Command for Investigations recorded 2,475 individuals. In several counties, photo ID cards were also introduced for Roma people, including children. Though not yet full segregation, the measure institutionalised surveillance and reinforced the state’s view of Roma as a population to be monitored and controlled.
