Description
The Einsatzgruppe had little to do with the killing of the Estonian gypsies. The Estonian police organized the large 'zigeuneraktion' of February 1943, and local Roma were sent to prisons and concentration camps in the Tallinn area. Of a pre-war population of about 850, none were alive at the end of the war.
