Presents the story of the Nazi persecution of the Gypsies. This book sets the events of the twentieth century within the context of centuries of harassment and mistreatment of Gypsies borne of deep-rooted prejudice in European society.
This illustrated text traces the origin of the Gypsies in India and their journey westward to their arrival on the shores of the Thames. It also looks at their distant relatives who stayed in India or dropped off on the way west and who carry on a nomadic life in Persia and neighbouring countries.
The second text in a three-volume series in the Interface Collection, based on the latest research into the racial theories which underlay the suffering of the Gypsies in the Holocaust and their fate in the death camps in the occupied countries of Hitler's Europe.
