Additionally, there were around 300 itinerant Sinti who were split between Austria and Slovenia. Following the occupation and dismemberment of Slovenia in April 1941, the Sinti in Gorenjska, located within the German occupation zone, were among the first groups to be subjected to mass imprisonment in Nazi facilities in Begunje. Subsequently, they were deported to Serbia, where numerous men managed to escape and join the partisans. However, most were confined in concentration camps in Serbia, predominantly at Staro Sajmište in Belgrade. There, they faced a fate similar to that of the Roma and Jewish populations, who were also subjected to mass arrests and systematic extermination during the initial stages of the occupation. While the Nazis sought to distinguish between Sinti and other Roma, both communities fell victim to the oppressive racial policies implemented during that era, including Slovene Roma and Sinti individualsPred drugo svetovno vojno je v tedanji Dravski banovini (jugoslovanski Sloveniji) živelo 1107 Romov in okoli sto petdeset Sintov – staroselcev na Gorenjskem ter še okoli 300 potujočih Sintov, ki so bili razpeti med Avstrijo in Slovenijo. Po okupaciji in razkosanju Slovenije aprila leta 1941 so bili Sinti na Gorenjskem, ki je spadala pod nemško okupacijsko območje, med prvimi množično zaprti v nacističnih zaporih v Begunjah. Od tam so bili izseljeni v Srbijo, kjer so številni moški pobegnili k partizanom, večino pa so zaprli v koncentracijska taborišča na območju Srbije, največ v Staro Sajmište v Beogradu. Tam jih je čakala enaka usoda kot Rome in Jude, ki so jih v Srbiji že na začetku okupacije množično aretirali in načrtno pobijali. Čeprav so sicer nacisti razlikovali Sinte od drugih Romov, so bili oboji žrtve njihove rasne politike. Med njimi tudi slovenski Romi in SintiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZgodovinsko društvo v Mariboru
