DOCUMENTATION AND CULTURAL CENTRE OF GERMAN SINTI AND ROMA German website. One of the central roles of the institution is to document the more than 600 years of history of the Sinti and Roma in Germany. A particular emphasis has been laid on the national socialist crime of genocide which for decades was kept hidden from the public consciousness. Another important role of the Centre consists in illustrating the cultural contributions which the Sinti and Roma minority has made in the fields of literature, the plastic arts and music, among others, and to help to correct stereotypes in these areas. Scientific conferences and seminars in co-operation with experts from Germany and abroad are held to this end. www.sintiundroma.de
