Besides their ethnicity... Which nationality did those Roma and Sinti have had? I am really curious about this. I mean before Hitler there where no "Germans". People living here have been Baden, Hessen, Bayern. Which of these states did the Roma and Sinti belong to?

And: If they have been german citizens.. isn't it racist to call them Sinti and Roma when they have been german citizens?
