As far as we know to date, the Poles Franciszek and Ryszard Buriański and the Czech Rudolf Richter are the first Roma to be sent to concentration camp Auschwitz (German-annexed Poland). The camp was established in June 1940. From July 1941 to February 1943 (before the systematic deportation of Sinti and Roma from German-controlled territory to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp), it is estimated that at least 370 Roma, mostly of Polish or Czech nationality, are sent to camp Auschwitz.
