← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 8 December 1938 📍 Duitsland

Himmler’s decree instructed police to treat Roma and Sinti as a racial population and to intensify registration and segregation. It marked a major escalation from locally varying discrimination toward coordinated Reich-wide persecution. The original German title uses a racist slur; this entry refers to the decree by its author and date.
