Antiziganism
Antiziganism[a] refers to the bias, prejudice or discrimination against the Roma.[b]
Overview
Antiziganism has been widespread in Europe since the Middle Ages.[2] The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) adopted an official definition for antiziganism on October 8, 2020:[1]

Persecution
For centuries, the Roma have been victims of persecution and systemic discrimination in many countries.[3][4] They were subject to repeated mass murders as well.[3][4]
Modern period
Between the 1500s and the 1700s, Romani men could be hanged without a trial in many countries.[3] Muslim Roma reportedly face double discrimination – antiziganism and alleged Islamophobia.[5][better source needed] Smears against the Roma are common, especially in European countries.[3][4] Unfortunately, the Roma are blamed just as the Jewish people[6] for social problems and wrongdoings of others.[3][4]
Genocide
Nazi Germany
In World War II, while the Holocaust was happening, the Roma were also genocided by Nazi Germany, his allied countries and their local collaborators in Axis-occupied territories.[7] Historians estimated that between 250,000 and 500,000 Roma had been killed.[8][9] Some historians give a higher death toll estimate, ranging from 800,000 to 1,500,000.[10]
