1942/05/25 – Geheime Volkszählung Rumänien

In Romania, a census is prepared in secret and carried out throughout the country, on the basis of which Roma are selected by the gendarmerie according to certain criteria to be deported to Transnistria shortly afterwards. 9,471 Roma labelled as ‘nomadic’ and 31,438 Roma labelled as ‘non-nomadic’ are registered. Some families are taken into custody on the day of the census itself and held until the deportation is carried out.
