  Porajmos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Porajmos (also Porrajmos) literally Devouring, is a term coined by the Roma (Gypsy) people to describe attempts by the Nazi regime to exterminate most of the Roma peoples of Europe during the Holocaust.
The vast majority of Roma, however, were to suffer the same indignities as the Jews, and in some instances, they suffered even more brutally.
According to Porajmos historian Ian Hancock, proportionately, the Roma death toll equaled "and almost certainly exceed[ed], that of Jewish victims."

 Porajmos
The Porajmos (also Porrajmos) literally Devouring, is a term coined by the Roma (Gypsy) people to describe attempts by the Nazi regime to exterminate most of the Roma peoples of Europe.
In one remarkable instance, the victims were so terrified that they would be killed on the spot that they actually stormed the gates of the death camp, demanding to be allowed in--they were promptly led to the gas chambers, all the while believing that they would find sanctuary there.
Because of the loosely organized nature of the Roma community in Europe, it is difficult to determine how many Roma were actually killed during the Porajmos.

This culminated in the nearly total extermination of all Gypsies during WW2; a little talked of and widely ignored or unknown event in western history, called the Porrajmos.
This event has been greatly overshadowed by the Holocaust, which, however terrible, did not have as devastating an effect on the Jews, as the Porajmos had on the Gypsies.
Their culture was virtually annihilated, and ever since then Rroma, having lost the means and numbers to continue their traditions, have been forced to lead especially deprived lives as beggars, cheats, and thieves, which has not helped shed a good light on them either.

From 1941 until 1945, the Nazi-installed regime of Ante Pavelic in Croatia carried out some of the most horrific crimes of the Holocaust (known as the Porajmos by the Roma), killing over 800,000 Yugoslav citizens - 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews and 26,000 Roma.
