Memorial to the murdered Roma-Sinti Gypsies by Nazi Germany
The Roma Sinti Gypsies during Nazi Germany were considered racially inferior to the Aryan race. They were also considered asocial. These people were sent to
concentration camps where they were persecuted and murdered as early as 1936. While in Nazi concentration camps,
they were forced to wear a black upside down triangle on their
clothing.
Approximately 500,000 women, children and men were murdered by the Nazi government

every day. Unknown to most visitors is a speaker located in the trees that quietly plays Gypsie music
