Romania's Iași pogrom, one of the worst massacres of Jews during World War II
The Holocaust saw the cold-blooded murder of 6 million Jews. The worst of the tragedy took place in eastern Europe: in Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Romania. It's estimated that up to 380,000 Jews were killed in Romania: most by the police, but some by ordinary citizens, with the complicity of the dictatorship led by Ion Antonescu. One of the most violent episodes was the Iași pogrom in the summer of 1941.
