Abstract:
Discusses official Romanian participation with the Germans in the extermination of Jews from Bukovina and Bessarabia and in the Jassy pogrom of 29 June 1941. Describes pogroms in Dorohoi and southern Bukovina in June 1940, organized by army units who alerted the Christian population, suggesting that the same pattern was used in Jassy. Antonescu, who ordered the actions against the Jews of Bessarabia and Bukovina, apparently did not give a written order in the case of Jassy. Similarly, the order to deport the Jews of Czernowitz in October 1941 was transmitted orally from Army headquarters. After the establishment of the dictatorial regime in September 1940, Jews were subject to restrictions, extortion, arrest, and torture. The Jassy press had been inciting the population for months, and after war with the USSR was declared on 21 June 1941, leaflets and rumors accused Jews of aiding the enemy.
