Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast , from the Canary Islands to the world.
Gypsy genocide or Porraimos (in Romani, Porrajmos, literally "devouring") are the names given to the attempts by Nazi Germany and Nazi Austria to exterminate the majority of the Gypsy peoples of Europe, as part of the Holocaust during World War II.
In the thousand years that Gypsy tribes have lived in Europe, they have been subject to anti-Gypsy persecution and humiliation; They are stigmatized as common criminals, social misfits and vagrants.
Given the Nazi predilection for “racial purity,” it seemed inevitable that gypsies would be among its first victims. However, in the early days of the Third Reich, gypsies presented a problem for Hitler's racial ideology. The Gypsy language is one of the Indo-European languages, which emerged in northern India. Nazi anthropologists realized that Gypsies migrated to Europe from India and were therefore descendants of the Aryan occupiers of the subcontinent, who were believed at the time to have invaded India from Europe. In other words, the gypsies were speakers of an Aryan language; Consequently, the gypsies were Aryans or perhaps even more Aryan than the Germans themselves.
