The Forgotten Holocaust

Sunday

Available for over a year

It's been described as "the forgotten holocaust", the genocide carried out against Roma and Sinti communities by the Nazis. Upwards of half a million Roma and Sinti people were murdered by the regime and its collaborators. But those communities have struggled to get recognition or compensation. Even the Nuremberg trials largely ignored them. Aluna Lepadatu is Project Advocate for the Roma Support Group. Originally from Moldova, she's been telling William Crawley about her own family's experience of the genocide.
