Europe's Roma & WWII: swastikas & holocaust

WWII ended before I was born but I still want to learn about it. 

Like why Europe allows its Romani citizens, children and adults, to be treated so badly in their own countries.  And in the midst of Britain's Windsor swastika problem, who in the media is reporting that up to 500.000 Roma people (also known as the Gypsies) were murdered in Europe in WWII? I really can't stomach conspiracies of silence, regardless of who's doing it.

Karin in Jugoslavija was nice enough to email me and recommend a book Gypsies under the Swastika by Donald Kenrick and Grattan Puxon.  She says there's also plenty of info on the Romanis' Patrin website.  I've read that ancestors of the Romani moved west from northern India - like around Punjab - several hundred years ago. Some say they were first recruited to Europe to be warriors.
