Paul Polansky’s book Black Silence collects the oral histories of some of these people while they were at Lety. Dani Karavan designed a memorial pool for these people featuring a poem by Santino Spinelli. During the 1936 Summer Olympics, a camp at Marzahn was constructed to house these people, whose “Extermination Remembrance Day” is on August 2. One of these people named Settela (*) Steinbach was photographed wearing a sheet to cover a shaved head while peering nervously through a train opening. A brown inverted triangle or the letter Z marked detainees as these people, although many were classified as “asocial” or “work-shy” instead. The Samudaripen or Porajmos targeted this ethnic group as part of the Holocaust. For 10 points, name this traditionally nomadic group of mainland Europe. ■END■
