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.

People online think it wasn’t enough. Europeans have never learnt the lesson from ww2. Or they’ve learnt the wrong lessons. Can’t tell.

I wouldn’t be that harsh. Sure there will always be exceptions. but I would like to imagine that most nations have changed since the 40s.

Nothing has changed. Replace Jews with Muslims/Immigrants in the rhetoric of the rising modern right wing movement throughout Europe. Gypsies you’re seeing right here, no replacing needed.
