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.
