Summary:The treatment of the Sinti minority was characterized by rejection, mistrust, and criminalization and has a history spanning at least 200 years. Rainer Driever's study is dedicated to the general development and – in parallel – the situation of the Sinti in Göttingen. It began in the German Empire and shows a steady refinement of surveillance, including fingerprinting procedures and the complete registration of the Travelers. The development of this history of persecution culminated in the genocide of the National Socialists, but did not end there. The anti-Gypsy consensus of society in post-war Germany was also clearly evident in Göttingen. It united society, municipalities, authorities, and courts. A major factor in this was the fact that the genocide of Sinti and Roma had no place in the public consciousness.
