Probably because they werent of the Aryan race or German.
It is a myth that Hitler just tried to kill the Jews he tried to destroy all forms of what he felt were undesriable people disabled Gypsy gay criminal and unfortunatley he didnt like anybody from Eastern Europe either and therefore the Romani were destroyed
It may have also been because many Romani were Gypsies. Gypsies were widely hated during this time period by an assortment of races, Germans included.

∙ 12y agoBecause The Nazi killed Jews, homosexuals and of coarse Gypsies. They had no choice if they wanted to get killed or not!!! They were also not German!!!!
Because they were classed as undesirables
________
Because the gypsies were thought of as nothing but beggars, and Hitler thought their reputation would reflect badly on the Nazi Regime.

Not just beggars but also thieves, cheaters, and loafers.

∙ 11y agoJust as the path to extermination for the Jews was not a clear one, so the path for Roma/gypsies was unclear.
Gypsies were seen with both disdain and admiration by the Nazi leadership. Due to their community they possessed a purity of blood that interested Himmler, so much so that he set up institutions that would study and experiment on them, they were seen as the most pure Aryans within the Reich.
During the war the nomadic tribes were seen as a security risk, so they were forced into the ghettos.
As the war was drawing to a close the Nazis needed to cover their tracks and destroy the evidence of what they had done, so they were targeted for execution. This became a big issue for those at the camp who had to carry out the task, as the German gypsies had never been forced to surrender their citizenship and the guards had trouble understanding why they had to die.

∙ 12y agoit was because Himmler wanted to find out about aryans, with 'pure' gypsies being the ideal, he established an istitute to investigate them. The decision to kill them was not a popular one.
