Abstract

The period of the Slovak State, which existed between 1939 and 1945, is today quite well mapped by the Slovak science. Although until 1989 the research of this issue was taboo and almost did not exist, in recent years emerged a great number of quality monographs and studies. We already know relatively well the political, military, social, economic, and cultural realities of the time. Nevertheless, there are still a number of “white spots”. This is due, in particular, to the lack of a social order that prevents from investigation of some events associated with the period of existence of the Slovak Republic in the years 1939-1945. The research of this issue is in particular difficult to process also due to the great sensitivity that is associated with this topic. Every researcher has to approach this issue very carefully and responsibly, as the period of the Slovak Republic between 1939 and 1945 and especially the persecution measures of this period are under strong social scrutiny. One of these still insufficiently proceeded problems is the status of the Roma community and the impact of the persecution measures of the state on this community. What was then the regime of the Slovak State in relation to the Roma community? What state did it take on the Roma population during various stages of his existence? And how the measures of the same state changed after the occupation by the German army? What is the impact on education in this field? Is this important issue sufficiently addressed?
