Why did Germany persecute even Gypsies in World War II?

In order to explain this problem clearly, we must first find out the origin of gypsies. Gypsies are Caucasians with dark skin. They first lived in northern India, left India around 1000, passed through Afghanistan, Persia, Armenia, Turkey and other places, and arrived in the Balkans of Europe in14th century. By the16th century, Gypsies had spread all over Europe, including Scotland and Sweden. Other Gypsies arrived in North Africa via Syria and then crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain. At present, most gypsies are concentrated in the Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia and other eastern European countries and the Balkans. Most Gypsies speak Gypsy, a language closely related to modern Indo-European language in northern India. They also speak the main language of the country where they live. Gypsies call themselves Roma (meaning "men"), while non-Gypsies call themselves Gajie (meaning "outsiders").

Gypsies are recognized as semu with a long history in the world. Like all Semites, they wandered around. They are not engaged in agriculture and mulberry industry, and generally do not raise food livestock. On the contrary, they depend on the residents of towns and rural areas for their livelihood. Men make a living by selling livestock, taming animals, mending pots (black and white blacksmiths) and being musicians, while women engage in divination, singing and dancing, selling medicines and begging. These occupations are inferior in most ethnic groups and are easily associated with crime. Therefore, gypsies have left a bad impression on people of other nationalities, thinking that gypsies are beggars, thieves, traffickers or prostitutes. In addition, as a natural wandering nation, Gypsies have a strong national character in their hearts. They refuse to communicate with other cultures, do not marry foreigners, and retain some romantic yearning and natural characteristics about vagrancy in their hearts. Therefore, since they entered this country,

Starting from Sweden, it was first stipulated that gypsies who did not leave should be hanged and could not be sent back to neighboring Finland. Then Britain joined the persecution of gypsies in the middle of16th century. At that time, Britain decided that the gypsy lifestyle was a crime, and even those who sympathized with the gypsies were guilty. 1554, according to British law, being a gypsy is a capital crime. Before the German Gypsy Massacre in World War II, the most shocking thing was the activities of "hunting Gypsies" in some northern European countries. Hunting gypsies is like hunting foxes. Hunting gypsies does not constitute any crime. 1589, the king of Denmark announced that any caught gypsy leader would be put to death and those who participated in the hunting of gypsies would be rewarded. The barbaric activities of hunting gypsies have long prevailed in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Denmark, and lasted until the19th century. 1835165438+1October1kloc-0/jutland captured a total of ***260 gypsies, men, women and children. A nobleman in the Rhine region has such a hunting record: "object: a gypsy woman with a baby." Even in modern times, Europeans still discriminate against gypsies. During the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, gypsies living in Greece were expelled by the police. On September 20 10, the French Sarkozy government expelled gypsies on a large scale, although France has gradually become an immigrant country. It can be said that the history of Gypsies is very similar to that of Jews, and both of them have suffered a lot.

In World War II, Nazi Germany began to destroy inferior nations in a planned way because Hitler pursued the Aryan Plan and declared that he wanted to build an excellent nation-state established by pure Aryans, and all other nations were inferior nations. Gypsies who have been persecuted in Europe for a long time are naturally classified as inferior ethnic groups. Since 1936, Germany's "racial law" has involved the exclusion of Gypsies. On this day, Helmles, the interior minister of Nazi Germany, personally signed an order to arrest gypsies, mixed-race gypsies and non-German gypsies in an all-round way and issued it to the European countries occupied by Germany at that time. Gypsies have therefore become targets of arbitrary slaughter, and most of them have been put into concentration camps and died. It is estimated that during the war, the number of gypsies who died under the Nazi government's racial law may be around 500 thousand.

Ironically, the Germans are proud to be Aryans, and they have made up a specious racial theory, and the gypsies they massacred on a large scale are also Aryans.
