📅 1 Juni 1942 📍 Roemenië

Romanian authorities began deporting Roma categorized by police as “nomadic” to Romanian-administered Transnistria, followed by deportations of Roma categorized as “settled.” More than 25,000 Roma were deported in 1942–44; thousands died from hunger, cold, disease, and abuse. The Romanian state and its gendarmerie were direct agents of persecution, in alliance with Nazi Germany but through their own policies and institutions.
