neglected memory of the Romanies in the Holocaust/Porrajmos

In Nazi ideology, two “racial” populations defined by biology were targeted for removal from German “living space”—the Jews and the Romanies. States that the Holocaust or Porrajmos lacks the special place it holds for Jews, and many Romanies view it as just one more hate-motivated crisis—albeit an overwhelmingly terrible one—in their overall European experience. Others refuse to speak about it because of its association with death and misfortune, or to testify or accept reparation for the same reason.
