Memorial to the victims of the Holocaust in Romania [text attached to the memorial] "The Holocaust in Romania, 1940-1944. As the Nazis and their allies and collaborators implemented plans to destroy the Jews of Europe (which would come to be known as the Holocaust or Shoah), the Romanian state unleashed its own systematic persecution of the Jews, which was heralded by the antisemitic legislation of 1940. The pogroms in Dorohoi and Galați in June 1940, as well as those in Bucharest in January 1941, and in Iași in June 1941, left thousands dead and marked the beginning of the organized destruction of Romanian Jewry. In October 1941, the regime of Ion Antonescu began deporting the Jews of Bessarabia and Bukovina to Transnistria, launching a genocidal campaign to eliminate the country's Jewish population. Between 1940 and 1944, the Romanian state was responsible for the deaths of at least 280,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews. Twenty-five thousand people of Roma origin were also deported to Transnistria, where only 11,000 survived. In the spring of 1944, the occupying Hungarian authorities in the northwestern regions of Romania deported 135,000 Transylvanian Jews who were murdered in Auschwitz by the Germans. The Romanian nation and their government erected this memorial as a permanent place of remembrance and as a warning addressed to future generations." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Romania#The_... Elie Wiesel National Institute for Studying the Holocaust in Romania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elie_Wiesel_National_Institute_for_... www.inshr-ew.ro/ . . . Rabbi Alexandru Șafran en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandru_%C8%98afran Şafran was born in Bacău, and received his doctorate in philosophy from Vienna University (1933). He briefly succeeded his father as rabbi in Bacău, before becoming the chief rabbi of Romania in 1940, then the youngest chief rabbi in the world. In September 1940 Romania allied to Nazi Germany and, under Nazi influence, had begun to introduce anti-Jewish laws. In 1941, Şafran and Romania's Union of the Jewish Communities, through intervention with Nicodim Munteanu, the patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, convinced Antonescu to revoke an order forcing Jews to wear the yellow badge. Shortly thereafter, the government dissolved all Jewish organizations, so Şafran and other Jewish leaders formed an underground Jewish Council. In 1942, Şafran used his contacts with ambassadors (notably the Swiss René de Weck), the queen mother Elena, and church officials, including the papal nuncio Andrea Cassulo, to convince Antonescu to resist German demands for the wholesale deportation of Jews. As World War II continued, the Jewish Council organized efforts to aid and lobby of the return of Jews deported to Transnistria. About 57 percent of Greater Romania's pre-war Jewish population of about 800,000 survived the war. [Today the Jewish community in Romania is sadly very small, many Jews who survived emigrated to Israel after WWII] . A Righteous Among The Nations Elena, Queen Mother of Romania db.yadvashem.org/righteous/family.html?language=en&it... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_of_Greece_and_Denmark#Queen_M... Princess Elena of Greece and Denmark was born in Athens. She was the daughter of the future King Constantine I of Greece. In 1921 Elena married Romania's crown prince, who later became King Carol II. The couple had a child, Mihai (Michael), and divorced in 1928, before Carol's accession to the throne. On September 6, 1940, King Carol II was forced to resign because of his political failures. General Ion Antonescu took control of the country in an alliance with the Iron Guard. Mihai, Carol II’s 20-year-old son, was crowned, and his mother, Elena, who had been away from Romania, returned to Bucharest as the Queen Mother. Antonescu's opponents – the heads of the historical parties, the Liberal Party and the Peasant Party – maintained contacts with the royal court, as did other political and social organizations. In the summer of 1941, when the Jews of Besserabia, Bukovina and Dorohoi were deported to Transnistria, Rabbi Dr. Alexander Safran, the chief rabbi of Romanian Jewry, appealed to the head of the Orthodox Church, the Patriarch Nicodem. Unable to persuade Antonescu, Nicodem went to the Queen Mother, who was very moved upon hearing about the plight of the deported Jews. After turning to various influential people, the Queen Mother and the Patriarch appealed directly to Antonescu. The deportations continued, but due to the intervention of the Queen Mother, the deportation of the philologist Barbu Lazareanu was prevented. At the end of 1941, when news arrived of the desperate state of the Jews expelled to Transnistria, Rabbi Safran again appealed to the Queen Mother for help. She consulted with Monsignor Andrea Cassulo, the Pope’s emissary, and taking his advice, she turned to the acting prime minister, Mihai Antonescu. She persuaded him to allow the Jewish organizations to send medical aid, clothing and food to the Jews in Transnistria, who were living in ghettos and camps. The plight of the Jews was of such concern to the Queen Mother that she sent her aide, after midnight on a stormy night, to inform the chief rabbi that she had obtained approval to send them help. The help sent in 1942 saved the lives of thousands of Jews who had been deported to Transnistria. The Queen Mother continued with her efforts to prevent the deportation of Jews from the Regat (the Old Kingdom). On 30 October 1942, Gustav Richter, of Eichmann's staff, who served as expert for Jewish Affairs in Bucharest, wrote that "The Queen Mother told the King that what was happening to the people in this country was awful, that she can no longer stand this, all the more so that her name and the King's will be connected with the murders of the Jews and so she can expect to remain in history as the mohter of "Michael the Terrible". She threatened the king in earnest that unless deportations stop immediately, she would leave the country....". In 1943 and early 1944, the Queen Mother contributed to the decision to allow the return from Transnistria of thousands of deported Jews, including thousands of Jewish orphans. Despite a six-month delay, caused by Adolph Eichmann’s intervention, the orphans were returned thanks to Queen Elena’s determined efforts. On March 11, 1993, Yad Vashem recognized Queen Mother Elena as Righteous Among the Nations. . . . . . photo: Holocaust Memorial, Bucharest, Romania Memorial to the victims of the Holocaust in Romania inaugurated October 2009 author Peter Jacobi www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005472 ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorialul_Holocaustului_(Bucure%C8%99ti) Memorialul Holocaustului (București) Memorialul victimelor holocaustului din Romania
