Did Hitler have Gypsy Camps too?

The Nazi concentration camps contained more than just Jews. Everyone who was considered an untermensch (Ger. "less than human") was systematically rounded up and put into these camps. This included gypsies, homosexuals, those of Eastern European or Russian descent--even young Germans whose only crime was to enjoy and support so-called decadent anti-Aryan culture (such as Swing Music) were arrested and "transported east" as the Nazis euphemistically called their program of cultural and ethnic cleansing. These concentration camps served as gateways to the more infamous death camps run by the SS, such as Auschwitz.
