Explanation: In the Holocaust, the Nazis persecuted and brutally exterminated numerous minorities on an industrialized scale, one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century, if not human history as a whole. The justification, generally, was of racial 'impurity', with the Nazi worldview prioritizing 'Aryan' peoples over non-Aryan ones.
One of the minorities so-persecuted were the Romani people (sometimes, colloquially, 'gypsies', though the term is considered offensive in many circles and should be avoided in modern usage), who are literally an Aryan peoples.
Racist fascist morons don't even give a fuck about their own justifications, and will make up any mental gymnastics to persecute those whom they feel they can. No consistency needed. The cruelty is the point.
