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 25 countries (as of September 2024) 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 1000 contributions by 2025. You can find out which focal points are already available under the menu item ‘News’.
