12 May 1944 | A group of 39 Roma and Sinti children (20 boys and 19 girls) deported from the St. Josefspflege orphanage in Mulfingen, near Stuttgart were registered at Birkenau. Dr. Robert Ritter and Eva Justin of the Institute for the Study of Racial Hygiene carried out various tests on them before deportation.
The main purpose of this research was to confirm that the supposed "Gypsy" traits were inborn. When the children became useless, they could be deported.
