Sprecher, a member of the U.S. legal team, stated that one of the failings of the prosecution was not to make “a separate submission to the Tribunal on the persecution and murder of the Gypsies.”1 This omission is doubly tragic given that the Roma are often mentioned together with Jews as victims of Nazi persecution throughout the trial's transcripts. This failure not only robbed persecuted Roma of their “day in court,” but also deprived us of the rich body of testimony that would have given us much earlier insight into the evolution of Nazi policies towards this group. |
