F3 No Compensation

Most Roma and Sinti never received any compensation for what they lost, especially not for their houses. Most Roma settlements were built in the 19th century on common land and few Roma realised the houses had to be registered. After the war, most survivors had no legal documents to prove that they had ever owned a house, or even that their house had existed.
