No, not really.
No
no, the Jews were the main race taken but there were also gypsies, any free radicals that the Nazis could find.. anyone who was different was taken.
No.
The victims of the holocaust were mainly the Jews of all nations, Poles, Gypsies, indeed, any race the Germans considered sub-human and non-Aryan. The perpetrators were Hitler and the Nazis.
I've never heard anyone seriously suggest any link between the two.
Yes, some Roma people, often referred to as Gypsies, did survive World War 2. However, they were one of the groups targeted by the Nazis for persecution and many were killed in the Holocaust. The exact number of survivors is difficult to determine, but there are Roma communities around the world today.
No, gypsies do not live in any one place, they are travellers.
Gypsies are as likely to have any blood type, just as anyone else.
== == In terms of the holocaust, their blood was seen as "dirty," just as any darker, swarthy ethnic group was viewed. They were unlike the "pure" fair-skinned Aryan race, and therefore persecuted in order to keep their bloodlines and influence out of German culture. ___ Actually, the gypsies migrated to Europe from northern India had a better claim to be "Aryan" than any other group. The main reasons for prejudice were: * In parts of eastern and central Europe gypsies were the only ethnic group that could be owned as slaves (about 1600-1850). * They were thought to lead a nomadic existence. * Non-gypsies knew very little about them.
A common estimate I have seen repeatedly is 2.5 million. Some of them because they were Jewish. Some of them because they were Roma or Sinta (gypsies). Many of them simply because they were too young to be of any use to the Reich.
If you are referring to any genocide, they happened throughout human history, even up to today. There have been too many to count. If you are talking about "the Holocaust", this term usually only refers to the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews, Gypsies, and other undesireables. It only happened once: from 1933-1945. It will never happen again.
The Nazis whipped out 2/3 of the Jewish population which is a about 7 million Jews. But not only Jews died; smaller races such as Gypies were also exterminated. Altogether, about 11 million people died in the holocaust.
