One of the groups slaughtered by Hitler was a significant proportion of the Gypsy (aka Roma) population of Germany and Eastern Europe, somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 killed. These people are genetically, ethnically, and linguistically related to some East Indian populations, with divergence compatible with historical migration about 500 years ago.
