Exhibition- Romania During World War II

As the Nazi party rose to power in the early 30s, Romania became an ally to the Nazi regime early on and was one of the most Anti-Semitic countries in Europe before World War II broke. The Marshal of Romania, Ion Antonescu, performed mass murder of Jewish people in Bessarabia and in north Bukovina. In 1941 the Jewish people remaining in Romania after the massacres were sent to concentration camps and Death camps, mostly to Transnistria and Bukovina.

The Wiener library dedicates this exhibition to all the victims of the Nazi persecution in Romania during World War II.
