๐Ÿ“… 27 Februari 1946 ๐Ÿ“ Duitsland

The Soviet prosecution read German correspondence describing the forced sterilisation of a Roma woman in occupied Latvia. The transcript identifies her as Lucia Strasdinsch, with spelling variants in later accounts. This establishes that evidence of crimes against Roma appeared in the major-war-criminals trial, although the proceedings did not centre the genocide of Roma and Sinti as a distinct historical narrative.
