Forgotten Holocaust, The

Synopsis
The deportation, mass murder and torture of Europe’s gypsies during the Nazi regime have been largely forgotten. In France, the segregation and internment of 30,000 gypsies predated the German Occupation and more than 250,000 gypsies in Europe were deported to ghettos and concentration camps. Testimony from survivors of Auschwitz and other camps reveals how the Nazis planned the systematic genocide of the gypsy race. Filmed in Poland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
