Background
Berlin-Marzahn Rastplatz was a camp set up for Romani people in the Berlin suburb of Marzahn by Nazi authorities.
The Nazis used the Nuremberg Laws related to social misfits, vagabonds, and criminals as a means to intimidate and arrest Romani and Sinti Romani in Germany. At 4 a.m. on 16 July 1936, prior to the opening of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, police arrested 600 Romani in Greater Berlin and forcibly relocated them via 130 caravans to Marzahn, an open field in eastern Berlin sandwiched between a cemetery and a sewage dump.
Upon arrival the men and women were separated and taken for medical inspection.
