In this book, Ioanid explores in great detail the physical destruction of Romania’s Jewish and Roma communities, including the pogroms of Bucharest and Iasi as well as the deportations and the massacres from Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transnistria. Based on thousands of archival documents and testimonies of survivors, The Holocaust in Romania sheds new light on Romania’s prefascist and fascist antisemitic legislation and its implementation. New chapters consider the forced labor of the Jews, persecution by the Protestant churches, and the decision-making process of the Antonescu government in its treatment of Jews and Roma. With this book, the Romanian Holocaust will no longer be forgotten.
Radu Ioanid was born and grew up in Bucharest, Romania. He was director of the Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and then director of the International Archival Programs Division at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is presently the ambassador of Romania to Israel. Mr. Ioanid’s other books include The Sword of the Archangel: Fascist Ideology in Romania, The Iasi Pogrom, June–July 1941: A Photo Documentary from the Holocaust in Romania,and The Ransom of the Jews: The Story of the Extraordinary Secret Bargain between Romania and Israel.
