![]() In the following case, the killer, Simeon Yosifov, was condemned to 17 years in jail. In 2011 in Bulgaria, the general antiziganism completed in anti-Roma demonstrations in response to the killing of Angel Petrov on the orders of Kiril Rashkov, a Roma head in the village of Katunitsa. One of the Romanian researchers, Viorel Achim talks in his lectures about the conditions which lead to the extermination of this community, such as hunger, coldness, epidemics etc. The deportation was executed by Romanian Gendarmerie under the order of generals Constantin (Piki) Vasiliu and Constantin Tobescu and was carried out in two parts: 11441 nomad gypsies evacuated between June 1st and 15th August 1942,and 13 176 stable gypsies and dangerous for public order, evacuated between 12th-20th September 1942. The entire community was labeled as nomad and “dangerous for public order”. In 1942, the general Antonescu ordered the deportation of 24.617 Romanians of Roma ethnicity to Transnistria, among which more than 11000 were missing and only half of them succeed to return to Romania. The Romani situation isn’t any better since, this country too is among the most anti-gypsy countries. Romani people were the targeted also by puppet regimes which collaborated with Nazi, like Croatian Ustaše regime which killed a huge number of Romani at Jasenovac concentration camp. Einsatzgruppen teams have searched the Romani camps and killed trace less many of the people. Hancock writes: “the number of dead is higher than the number of Jews killed at Auschwitz”.īefore to be sent to concentration camp, the victims were crowded into ghettos, as happened to hundreds of thousands of people at Warsaw ghetto. Ian Hancock, the manager of Romani Research Program and Romani Documents Center Archive at Texas University from Austin, said the number of victims is higher than 1 million. Poland is among the most anti-gypsy countries. A detailed research of Sybil Milton, ex-historian at USHMM, counted from 220 000 to 500 000 victims. Michael Berenbaum writes researchers estimates are from 90 000 to 220 000. Donald Niewyk and Frances Nicosia said a number of dead people were at least 130 000 from about one million Romani people who lived in Europe controlled by Nazi.
