My grandma was in Bergen-Belsen, my grandfather was in Buchenwald, and my other gram was also in Buchenwald... My other grandfather was lucky and was born American. (I'm Jewish)

Just to clarify, the gypsies aren't exactly Romanian. They are just sort of nomads who happen to be centered in Romania. Romanians are mostly fair-skinned and light-eyed people, and gypsies are tanned, dark, and usually very dirty. They're everywhere in Romania, in their little wagons and stuff, and selling onions and such in markets. The chic thing in Romania is to look down on them cause they are highly unaware of sanitation and they are VERY forward beggers. My grandma always yells at the younger beggars to go wash up and find a job but she always gives money to the old ladies because they are not young enough to work. It's quite neat, if you give an old gypsy lady some money she'll cross herself and say something to the effect of "God bless you child". They're neat people

yeah, my grandma was in a concentration camp that started with a B too... I'm pretty sure it's Buchenwald, she wasn't in Birkenau. my dad is Romanian, not a gypsy, and he has tan skin and dark brown hair. my grandma also has black hair, but my grandpa looked a lot like me and had dirty blond hair.

Yeah not all dark-skinned people are gypsies, but all gypsies are dark-skinned.
