Their segregation is displayed in their deficient living conditions and in their ...

Victims The entire gypsy camp at Auschwitz, of 4000 people, was exterminated on August 1, 1944: Set up as a family camp, the Gypsy unit rapidly deteriorated and became extraordinarily filthy and unhygienic even for Auschwitz, a place of starving babies, children and adults. B. insisted that there were "sufficient rations...delivered to the camp for all of them to survive", but that certain adult Gypsies of high standing kept most of the food, thus denying it to all others, including hungry ...
