Order introducing racial segregation of Roma in the Protectorate

Protectorate police mandated racial registration of all Roma and Sinti and converted Lety and Hodonín into explicitly racialised “Gypsy camps.” Families—including children—were interned indefinitely. These camps functioned as transit hubs: over 2,700 Roma passed through them, the vast majority later deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
