Gypsies are not Roma (not the way I'm using the word, anyway). Roma is an ethnicity. Gypsy is a cultural lifestyle frequentlly associated with Roma. And the cultural complex that Westerners associated with Roma and was romanticized in The Hunchback of Notre Dame -- dancing, trading, fortune-telling, etc. -- is as much a part of the past in Eastern Europe as Jewish settlements, and for the same reason.
