101 Most of the persons listed as Gypsies or gypsies were released after giving a police warning when they had to undertake not to move away from their permanent residence. A precautionary link was placed on a smaller part of the people included in the inventory in the so-called Gypsy camps Lety and Hodonín. All Romani people were to hand over the Protectorate ID cards and in the future should only be shown by gypsy cards. The tragic resolution for Roma in both the empire and the connected areas and the protectorate meant Himmler's order of 16 December 1942, Tgb. Nr.I 2652/42 Ad./RF/V (270) on the basis of which they were sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. The order was for all Gypsies, Gypsy mixedsmen and non-German members of the Romani groups of Balkan origin to internment in the concentration camp Auschwitz II.-Birkenau. The whole event was not to apply to "pure" Sinti (German Roma) and Lallery. Furthermore, Romani people who had full rights as wives of the German nation and Roma who had permanent employment and established their lives should not be placed in a concentration camp. (271) Czech Gypsies, including those living in the Gypsy way of life, were to be subjected to forced sterilization. From this moment on, their fate was de facto sealed. Since March 1943, Romani transports from the Protectorate began to depart to extermination camps and the last ones took place at the beginning of 1944. However, one substantial difference existed after all the Jews were from the beginning under the direct control of the German party, while the gypsies fell until the time of transport under the supervision of the authorities of the protectorate Ministry of the Interior. On August 1942, he followed up on the original Coffee Work Camp from 1940. A subtle change in the name of the camp to the collection site expressed the tragic fact that only those who were to commit violations but Romani ethnicity as such before transport to the extermination camps of death were no longer closed on forced labour. On entering the camp, the prisoners handed over all movable assets, including holding books. The carriages were confiscated, the cattle were sold out in public auctions. There was also a malicious removal of musical instruments.
