Where Gypsies Gather on the Web
History of the Roma (Gypsy) People
Our special thanks go out to Dr. Ian Hancock for his contribution to these Romani history pages.
The history of the Roma is one of continuous struggle and persecution. Since their entry into Europe, the Roma have been outlawed, enslaved, hunted, tortured, and murdered. Throughout history, the Roma have fought for their just social and human rights, largely to the deaf ears of world governments and an indifferent public. Often referred to as 'Gypsy' or 'Gypsies,' these people have a long and rich history.
