Editing Romani Holocaust (section)

===Independent State of Croatia===
The Romani people were also persecuted by the puppet regimes that cooperated with the Third Reich during the war, especially by the notorious [[Ustaše]] regime in the Independent State of Croatia. Tens of thousands of Romani people were killed in the [[Jasenovac concentration camp]], along with [[Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia|Serbs]], [[The Holocaust in the Independent State of Croatia|Jews]], [[Bosniaks]] and [[Croats]]. [[Yad Vashem]] estimates that the Porajmos was most intense in [[Yugoslavia]], where around 90,000 Romani were killed.<ref name="www1.yadvashem.org" /> The Ustaše government virtually annihilated the country's Romani population, killing an estimated 25,000 and also deporting around 26,000.<ref name="USHMM_2" />

In May 1942, an Ustaše order was issued, according to it, the deportation of [[Muslim Roma]] who were residing in Bosnia and Herzegovina should stop.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.romarchive.eu/en/voices-of-the-victims/bosnia-and-herzegovina/ |title=Bosnia and Herzegovina |website=RomArchive }}</ref>

On April 24, 1945, Ustaše soldiers brutally murdered between 43 and 47 Sinti and Roma members of a traveling circus named "Braća Winter" as they temporarily settled in Kraj Donji on their way to Slovenia. The atrocity is known as the Hrastina Massacre and is perhaps the last mass murder of Sinti and Roma in Europe during World War II. In 1977, a statue was erected in the local cemetery, Marija Gorica, to honor the victims.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Šimunkovića |first1=Mario |title=MASAKR NAD ROMIMA I SINTIMA U HRASTINI 1945.
