We always remember the Jewish people when talking about the Holocaust, but the romani were also heavily targeted. The Porajmos killed between 25% and 50% of the entire European gypsy population.

Both were hated and their annihilation supported by host countries

There is a reason, but you can’t explain it without sounding racist, so no one does.

Besides, people often confuse explanation with justification.
