Check out this website about Gypsy witch hunts.
This witch hunt occured Prewar in Germany from 1933-1939. In 1933, police in Germany began more rigorous enforcement of pre-Nazi legislation against those who followed a lifestyle labeled "Gypsy." The Nazis judged such people to be racially "undesirable" and enacted systematic measures of persecution against the Roma (Gypsies). Ritter performed medical and anthropological examinations in an attempt to classify Roma. During Ritter's examinations he estimated that some 90 percent of all Roma in Germany were of mixed blood, or "alien blood", and were consequently carriers of "degenerate" blood and criminal characteristics. Because they allegedly constituted a danger, Ritter recommended the Roma's to be forcibly sterilized. Later the Romas became subjects of the Nazis and were mass murdered.

Witch Hunts and Rock 'n Roll
I found this website to be very interesting, I never thought music could be concidered "Communist."
I talks about the Crusade of Rock 'n Roll. Starting back with John Lennon, when he made his ill-advised Jesus comparison, one of the favorite targets of evangelicals supporting Satanic conspiracy theories is rock and roll music. David Noebel felt that Rock music was a Communist plot to threaten Western society. He accused the Soviets of using "an elaborate calculated scientific technique aimed at rendering a generation of American youth neurotic through nerve-jamming, mental deterioration, and retardation."Noebel felt that broadcasting music with a primitive beat hypnotized the unsuspecting listener. Noebel wrote, "need only mass hypnotize thousands of American youth, condition their emotions through the beat of the 'music' and then have someone give the word for riot and revolt... If the following scientific program is not exposed, degenerated Americans will indeed raise the Communist flag over their own nation."

Witch Hunts and Pogroms
I visited this website. It talks about Pogroms in different areas of the world. I focused on the one in India. Check it out.
India: Happened in 1984. Sikh places of worship were sought to be destroyed. In the Pogrom there were two phases to the operation. The first phase was to spread false propaganda against the Sikhs. The second phase was too bring groups of armed men to at least ten different sections of New Dehli. Police stood on the sideline and watched and drove around in jeeps and spread false propaganda. Many men were killed and women were gang raped and killed.
