Romanies and Travellers have been exposed to different forms of persecution for several hundred years. In a couple of the Nordic lands a bounty was offered for “tattare” – the majority population’s pejorative name for Travellers. In Sweden in the 1560s, the Swedish Church forbade its priests to christen, marry or bury ”tinkers” and in 1647 an ethnic cleansing law was introduced, “Notice of the Tinkers’ expulsion from the land”. The law meant, in effect, that anyone in authority who encountered “a pack of tinkers” could immediately sentence all the adult men to death by hanging and banish the women and children. Details of this and other outrages against individual groups of people are almost nowhere to be found in European children’s schoolbooks – with the exception of the persecution of the Jews.
