We condemn the recent hate speech in those ReTweet threads targeting Roma. The reunion of the Harehills children with their parents was a lawful process in the best interest of the family. Hate speech divides us; let’s work towards peace and understanding.

1943 November 15 - Heinrich Himmler makes public an order that Romani people (often referred to as Gypsies) are to be put on “the same level as Jews and placed in concentration camps.” This was merely a program, to include the deportation to Auschwitz of Roma already in camps.

Romanichel migrations from England to the United States peaked around 1850,stimulated by strong demand for horses traders, as horses were needed in agriculture and urbanization. Another wave of Romani immigration from Europe peaked between 1850 and 1862.
