site offers a great deal of information on the study of Middle Eastern
and North African Gypsies. The KURI ("tent" or "house"
in Dom language) journal section offers a vast number of issues,
covering Gypsies in Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Gazza and other inhabited
areas. The Dom are Gypsies associated with these regions of the
world and this site gives extensive information on their lifestyles,
culture, religion, language, tribal formations and migrations. This
site provides an interesting look into a Gypsy people living in
lands outside of the European Continent, from which a great deal
of information on current day Gypsies originates.
The
Gypsy Lore Society: www.gypsyloresociety.org
The site contains information on Gypsy and other travel cultures.
A history and brief overview of the various groups of Gypsies is
given, as Roma has become an inclusive term which commonly applies
to all Gypsies. Groups included in the coverage are the Romnichels,
Rom, Lundar or Rumanian
Gypsies, Black Dutch (German), and Hungarian Gypsies. Sources for
recommended readings, collections, archives and links to outside
sites are provided. As of March 2003, this site is still under construction.
Jewish Virtual Library site www.us-israel.org/jsource/holocaust/gypsies.html
An indepth look into the persecutions and extermination of Gypsies
is contained within this Holocaust section of the Jewish Virtual
Library. The Gypsies were second to the Jews in terms of the numbers
killed by the Nazi's. The Nuremberg Laws, of 1935, were adjusted
to include the Gypsies as a non-Aryan minority. As a result, deportations
to concentration camps and persecutions of the Gypsy people inflicted
their lives. The site
provides accounts of the Holocaust, including specific injustices
inflicted upon the Roma people. Links to books on the topic are
included in the notes at the end of the web page.
