Jewish Romania: The Holocaust Memorial, Bucharest
Another stop with guide Eduard (romaniajewishtours.com and medievaltours.com) at the Holocaust Memorial which was dedicated in 2009 and designed by Romanian sculptor Peter Jacobi.
The Romanian Government has only recently owned up to its part during the holocaust. Between 280,000 and 380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews, and 25,000 gypsies (Roma) were killed by Romanian civilian and military authorities in Romania and areas it controlled during World War II.
Many were slaughtered in pogroms (already talked about in the video taken inside the Great Synagogue) while others were transported to labor camps, primarily Auschwitz.

First Romanian Public Holocaust Memorial Center Opens in Elie Wiesel's Childhood Home
In 1944, two days after Passover, the Jews of Maramures County, in northern Transylvania, were rounded up and forced into 13 ghettos. Eventually, 131,639 Jews from Maramures County were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and most were exterminated. Between 280,000 and 380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews were murdered during the Holocaust in Romania and the territories under its control. An additional 135,000 Romanian Jews living under Hungarian control in Northern Transylvania also perished in the Holocaust, as did some 5,000 Romanian Jews in other countries.
Jewish Bucharest Tour
A quick introductory video tour into the Jewish Bucharest.
Use your visit to Romania to explore the Jewish history of the country. Although, much of Bucharest's Jewish quarter was knocked down during the Communist times, many unique artifacts have been preserved and are now exhibited in the Jewish History Museum housed in the former Synagogue of Tailors. The Great Synagogue of Bucharest, hidden behind the Communist-era apartment buildings, is a beautiful and well preserved Temple. The Holocaust museum, located in the Temple, features photographs, people's testaments, facts and figures related to this tragic time. Coral Temple, which is undergoing interior works and is closed for visits now, is the 3d temple in Bucharest. The Holocaust memorial is a must.
Jewish Bucharest tour is a must for those interested in learning about the past and present of Romania's and Bucharest's Jewry.
Jewish Bucharest tour can be arranged as a shore excursion for those coming to Constanta with a cruise. More about our Constanta and Bucharest tours and shore excursions at odessawalks.com

Jewish Romania: The Great Synagogue of Bucharest
Wonderful Guide Eduard (romaniajewishtours.com and medievaltours.com) escorted us through the remnants of Jewish Bucharest and filled heads to bursting. The first stop was to the Great Synagogue of Bucharest which is also a Holocaust Museum, built in 1845-1846.
A Jewish presence in Bucharest was first documented in 1550 and the Jewish community was once the largest minority community in Bucharest.
I'll let Eduard dispense information in this and subsequent videos since he communicated the facts so well. Eduard, who is NOT Jewish, is a perfect example of how important it is for all peoples to visit important religious sites throughout the world. The ex-Marine (husband, Steve) and I are forever lighting candles in Churches, making kora (circumambulating around a Buddhist sacred site), and even a Jain pilgrimage. Have got to cover all eventualities, right?

Description: The history of the Jews in Romania concerns the Jews both of Romania and of Romanian origins, from their first mention on what is present-day Romanian territory. Minimal until the 18th century, the size of the Jewish population increased after around 1850, and more especially after the establishment of Greater Romania in the aftermath of World War I. A diverse community, albeit an overwhelmingly urban one, Jews were a target of religious persecution and racism in Romanian society – from the late-19th century debate over the Jewish Question and the Jewish residents' right to citizenship, to the genocide carried out in the lands of Romania as part of the Holocaust. The latter, coupled with successive waves of aliyah, has accounted for a dramatic decrease in the overall size of Romania's present-day Jewish community. Jewish communities existed in Romanian territory in the 2nd century AD. During the reign of Peter the Lame the Jews of Moldavia, mainly traders from Poland who were competing with locals, were taxed and ultimately expelled. The authorities decided in 1650 and 1741 required Jews to wear clothing evidencing their status and ethnicity. The first blood accusation in Moldavia was made in 1710, when the Jews of Târgu Neamț were charged with having killed a Christian child for ritual purposes. An anti-Jewish riot occurred in Bucharest in the 1760s. During the Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774 the Jews in the Danubian Principalities had to endure great hardships. Massacres and pillages were perpetrated in almost every town and village in the country. During the Greek War of Independence, which signalled the Wallachian uprising of 1821, Jews were victims of pogroms and persecutions. In the 1860s, there was another riot motivated by blood libel accusations.Antisemitism was officially enforced under the premierships of Ion Brătianu. During his first years in office Brătianu reinforced and applied old discrimination laws, insisting that Jews were not allowed to settle in the countryside , while declaring many Jewish urban inhabitants to be vagrants and expelling them from the country. The emigration of Romanian Jews on a larger scale commenced soon after 1878. By 1900 there were 250,000 Romanian Jews: 3.3% of the population, 14.6% of the city dwellers, 32% of the Moldavian urban population and 42% of Iași.Between the establishment of the National Legionary State and 1942, 80 anti-Jewish regulations were passed. Starting at the end of October, 1940, the Iron Guard began a massive antisemitic campaign, torturing and beating Jews and looting their shops , culminating in the failed coup and a pogrom in Bucharest, in which 125 Jews were killed. Antonescu eventually stopped the violence and chaos created by the Iron Guard by brutally suppressing the rebellion, but continued the policy of oppression and massacre of Jews, and, to a lesser extent, of Roma. After Romania entered the war at the start of Operation Barbarossa atrocities against the Jews became common, starting with the Iași pogrom. According to the Wiesel Commission report released by the Romanian government in 2004, between 280,000 and 380,000 Jews were murdered or died during the Holocaust in Romania, but also in the occupied Soviet territories under Romanian control . An additional 135,000 Jews living under Hungarian control in Northern Transylvania also perished in the Holocaust, as did some 5,000 Romanian Jews in other countries.On the current territory of Romania, between 290,000 and 360,000 Romanian Jews survived World War II . During the communist regime in Romania, there was a mass emigration to Israel, and in 1987, only 23,000 Jews lived in Romania. Today, the majority of Romanian Jews live in Israel, while modern-day Romania continues to host a modest Jewish population. In the 2011 census, 3,271 declared to be Jewish.

Hundreds of Romanian Jews partake in night march
(10 Sep 2017) Hundreds of people took part in a memorial march in the Romanian town of Sighet on Sunday, the birthplace of Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.
Members of Jewish communities from around the world departed from Wiesel's boyhood home, now a Jewish museum, 73 years after his family was taken to the train station and deported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
Wiesel shared the harrowing story of his internment at Auschwitz as a teenager through his classic memoir Night, one of the most widely read and discussed books of the 20th century.
He died in 2016 at the age of 87.
Sunday's march took place in Sighet for the first time as a sign of remembrance and of Romania's acknowledgment of the treatment of Romanian Jews during World War II.
Romania denied participating in the Holocaust until 2004, when it accepted the findings of an international commission that Romanian authorities killed up to 380-thousand Jews during the war in territories under their control.
