December 16, 1942 
Heinrich Himmler, head of the German Gestapo, 
made public an order that Gypsies, or Roma,
and those of mixed Roma blood 
already in labor camps be deported 
to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Himmler was determined to prosecute 
Nazi racial policies, which dictated the 
elimination from Germany and 
German-controlled territories 
of all races deemed "inferior," as well as 
"asocial" types, (hardcore criminals, homosexuals, Communists, Slavs,
Catholic priests). 
Gypsies fell into both categories according 
to Nazi ideology and had been executed 
widely in Croatia, Poland and the Soviet Union.
The Porajmos - literally Devouring - 
is a term coined by the Romani 
to describe attempts by the Nazi regime 
to exterminate most of their people in Europe.
