📅 20 October 1941 📍

During a German raid in Niš, a Romani man forced to relay police orders warned Roma in Romanes that they were about to be arrested. Some people were able to flee. The episode, recorded in the European Roma and Sinti genocide chronology, preserves an act of communication and survival that official police records would otherwise frame only as an operation against a targeted population.
