📅 22 Òktober 1939 📍 Fransia

A French military decree barred Roma and Travellers from travelling in eight western departments and restricted encampments in parts of central-western France. The measure drew on pre-existing French emergency powers and state classifications of so-called “Nomads.” It is important to distinguish this French policy from later German occupation measures and Vichy internment, while tracing their cumulative effects.
