because it was a deliberate attempt to eliminate a group of people
The Nazis
Yes. At least 220,000 gypsies were killed by the Nazis.
the Gypsies escaped the wrath of the Nazis No, they didn't.
The nazis killed their own citizens and those in surrounding countries - specifically those of the Jewish religion, gypsies, etc.
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.
The Holocaust, in which they (the Nazis) attempted to wipe out the Jews (an entire group of people)
They had different patches,for different groups. It wasn't hard to "pick out" the Gypsies. Even today in Europe the Gypsies are discriminated against and considered thieves.
There is the Shoah, or the Holocust. For the others; gypsies were the only other group that were sought out in an attempt to find them all, but to my knowledge there has been no name given to the attempted genocide of eastern Europe's gypsies.
While the Nazis committed genocide, they were never subjected to it. Jews, Slavs, and Romani were all subjected to genocide during the Holocaust in Europe. Chinese were subjected to genocides during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Asian Front of World War II in events such as the Rape of Nanking.
Romanis were the second largest group to suffer genocide at the hands of the Nazis, after the Jewish people. Even today, they get banished from the various European countries that they belong to.
Mainly the Jews from all the nations invaded by the Nazis, then gypsies, and anyone else the Nazis considered were sub-human.
It sounds as if you are confusing the holocaust (genocide and mass murder of Jews, Gypsies, political opponents and other by the Nazis) with World War 2.
