As long as you're on the topic - (jew/roma) - I'm reminded that you asked why the roma were singled out for so much attention. My take is that they hardly got the same amount of attention that the jew did from their persecution - which persecution accounts for the attention that they manage to attract. And it's always seemed to me that the persecution of both peoples was nurtured by the state as retaliation for not adopting state religion.
