Norwegian romà/gypsies
In the 1860s many gypsies migrated to Norway. Those who live here today are all descendants of the twelve who survived incarceration in concentration camps during the Second World War.
In Norway, as in the rest of Europe, gypsies are blatantly discriminated against. They report that they are often refused admittance to shops and camping sites. Those who live in caravans sometimes have to make do with car parks and industrial sites.
