Rescue of Roma during the Romani Holocaust

During World War II, some individuals and groups helped Romani people and others escape the Porajmos conducted by Nazi Germany.[1][2]

In Crimea, Crimean Tatars have been credited with helping the Crimean Roma during WWII.[3]

The Bosniaks from Zenica published a declaration stressing the special position of the so called White Gipsy/Bijeli cigo a sedentary Muslim Roma community, and with help of religious authorities in Sarajevo, the declaration influenced the Ustaše authorities to make a special provision in May 1942 to spare Muslim Roma residing in Bosnia and Herzegovina from deportation to the concentration camps to Jasenovac.[4]
