In 1982, West Germany formally recognized that Germany had committed genocide against the Romani. In 2011, Poland officially adopted 2 August as a day of commemoration of the Romani genocide.

Within the Nazi state, first persecution, then extermination, was aimed primarily at stationary "Gypsy mongrels". Since the fall of 1939, initially only partially implemented deportation intentions existed. Starting in February 1943, a majority of the Roma living in the German Reich were deported to the specially established Gypsy [[concentration camp]] at [[Auschwitz Birkenau]]. Other Roma were deported there from the occupied Western European territories. Only a minority survived.
