  Roma and Sinti
The Sinti are believed to be mainly descendents of nomadic groups roaming Europe in the middle ages such as the vagantes[?].
It is derived from "Egypt", for it is believed that when the Roma first arrived in Europe their (relatively) dark skins caused many Europeans to believe that they were natives of Egypt - the only hot foreign country most had heard of.
Roma and Sinti were widely believed to have psychic powers (see the popular stereotype of the Gypsy fortune-teller), and some romantics attribute the invention of the Tarot cards to them.

 UN Chronicle | Spotlight on AIDS' newest Strongholds
A notable cause for the continued marginalization and discrimination of Roma and Sinti is the structures of prejudice and racist clichés, which have been substantially influenced by the misanthropic racial ideology of the National Socialists and the associated fascist regime.
Against this background, it is hardly surprising that the rate of unemployment of Roma and Sinti has also dramatically increased since the collapse of the socialist economy, in which minority members were mostly employed as industrial workers, and is as high as 90 per cent in many regions.
Educational attention to historical facts of the extermination policy perpetrated against the Roma and Sinti in the National Socialist State, including its ideological and social assumptions, is urgently required to combat antiziganism and to subdue the traditional clichés about this minority.

 PRESS CONFERENCE BY CENTRAL COUNCIL OF GERMAN SINTI AND ROMA
The Chairman of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose, briefed correspondents at Headquarters today on the civil rights movement of the Sinti and Roma minorities in Europe.
Rose said that, in an effort to end racism against Roma and Sinti minorities, an appeal would be directed at the United Nations in connection with the 25 January opening of an exhibition at Headquarters detailing the little known experience of the Roma during the Holocaust.
Last year, he said, the European Court of Human Rights had condemned Bulgaria and Romania for their failure to prosecute serious violations of human rights and murders directed against those minorities.  The feeling such actions engendered were exacerbated when the authorities identified an accused criminal as a member of those minorities.

 Germany's Romany and Sinti Peoples Remember Buchenwald
For Germany's small gypsy community, which likes to be known as the Sinti and Romany people, the erection of a new monument near one commemorating the 11,000 Jewish victims of Buchenwald is the culmination of a long struggle for recognition.

 [No title]
The people fairly consistently call themselves Rom, or Roma.
What is known about the Sinti and Roma is that they arrived in Germany in the late 1400's after a series of migrations which brought them from northern India, through Persia, Asia Minor and Greece, the Balkan and Slavic States, to Austria and Germany.
Also, along the way, they acquired a wide range of stereotypes including "accomplices to the Crucifixion," thieves, practitioners of the magic arts, beggars, etc. Their itenerant lifestyles, non-conventional behaviors and mystical image brought them under governmental suspicion from the early Middle Ages on.
