This Encyclopaedia is the first comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge on the persecution and murder of the Sinti and Roma under National Socialism and during the Second World War (1933–1945) in Europe. More than 100 authors from 26 countries (as of February 2026) are involved. The articles on the history and aftermath of the genocide, also known as the ‘Holocaust of the Sinti and Roma‘, are constantly being updated and will grow to around 1,000 contributions.

Please note: Maintenance work will be carried out from 6 to 7 March, meaning that the site will be temporarily unavailable.
