Roma and Sinti in Slovenia durin g the Second World War are a rarely researched topic when it comes to Slovenian historians . R esearchers of Romani studies usually focus only on oppressive methods of occupation forces, leaving out other forms of Roma existence and participation. Roma and S inti communities actively interacted both with partisan and occupation forces. There are examples of non violent coexistence and at the same time violent oppresion on the partisan, German, Italian and Hungarian side. For example, the Roma participated both in Slov ene Home Guard and in the Partisan Detachments of Slovenia Wa r crimes were commited over Roma communit ies both by the partisans and occupation forces. Both sides also tried to preve nt the Roma from travelling across their territory . Te oppression continued after the war with forced migration organised by the Yugoslav government . Much of the post war discourse on the holocaust revolved around disputes whether the Roma community should be recognised as a victim of the holocaust.
