Women and men who helped children find refuge, saved lives witnessed the truth, and

The Righteous for Roma and Sinti
In Roma language, the years of extermination are known as Porajmos (literally "Great
Devouring" or "Destruction"), or Samudaripen ("all dead"). We will probably never
know exactly how many Roma and Sinti were killed: recent estimates say that there
were more than one million.
During the years of the extermination, some Righteous people came to the aid of those persecuted.
