Roma

The Roma are a transnational ethnic group originating from migrations out of the Indian subcontinent roughly a millennium ago, today the largest ethnic minority in Europe, with sustained communities from Spain to Russia and later migration to the Americas. Roma identity encompasses several historically distinct subgroups (including Kalderash, Sinti, Romanichal and others) sharing Romani-language heritage while differing in dialect, occupation and regional history. Roma communities have faced extensively documented historical persecution, including mass killing during the Holocaust (the Romani genocide, or Porajmos) and ongoing, well-documented discrimination in housing, education and employment across contemporary Europe, which remains an active subject of European Union and national policy.
