📅 9 Juli 1941 📍 Duitsland

The Auschwitz Museum records that two Polish Roma were among nine prisoners sent to the camp by German criminal police in Katowice. This early entry predates the mass deportation of Roma to Auschwitz in 1943; it shows that persecution and imprisonment began through local police actions before the later family deportations.
