National Geographic put out an informative article on the Gypsies and the discrimination... Vodalus Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 07:49:08 AM
...they often face. I want to say it was published around five or six years ago, but I'm not sure.

ETA: Looks like I was off a bit. It's the April issue of 2001.

The only other thing I have to add is that somewhere in Berlin I once came across a memorial ( or maybe it was a cenotaph ) which was dedicated to three lesser-known groups of people persecuted by the Nazis. The three listed were Roma, Sinti and homosexuals.
南無阿弥陀仏!
