Gypsies In Scheindorf


Gypsies (Zigeuner in German) have lived in Scheindorf for many years. Gypsies refer to themselves with the name "Rom" and not Gypsy. Recently, the Rom of Scheindorf have purchased some Swabian homes after their owners moved out of Scheindorf. Along with the Jews, the Rom were also killed in great numbers in the Nazi extermination camps during World War II.
