Romanians and the Holocaust Dr. SERBAN C. ANDRONESCU (Presented at the 1981 Revisionist Conference)
In the last decade, various stories appeared in books and newspapers relating to the Holocaust in Romania. The authors of these stories pretended that Romanians killed almost half a million Jews in WW II; they arrived at this figure in an awkward manner.
Firstly, long before this campaign, in 1957, two scholars, one Romanian and the other Jew, met together and published a paper on this subject in Rome, Italy, in which the figure was 15,000, but not of Jews exterminated by the Romanians; it related to the Jewish casualties in Romania, which makes a big difference. The title of the paper was Regional Development of the Jewish Population in Romania and the authors were Dr. Sabin Manuila, formerly General Director of the Institute for Statistics of Romania and Dr. W. Filderman, formerly President of the Jewish Community of Romania. In other words, one was a high level specialist in the very field of statistics and census, the other was the head of the minority that pretends today the above stated extermination. Furthermore, both authors had qualifications beyond the level stated above. Manuila was a Corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the International Institute of Statistics. Filderman was a Rabbi, former Member of the Romanian Parliament, and President of the "Joint Distribution Committee" for Romania. In other words, both were intellectuals of a higher standard and knowledgeable, by their professions, in the development of the population in Romania. However, despite their scholarship, the figure set after their research work (15,000), was fully stretched in Jewish favor. I shall call this figure Stage I of denigration. They listed the largest figure mentioned in the statistical reports they made use of; for instance, if two reports came from the same village, one informing of 10 casualties and the other of 15, the researchers listed the largest figure, 15. Therefore, the real number of Jews who died in Romania in the war was between 10,000 and 15,000. Anyhow, after the publication of that paper, the two parties were more or less content with that figure, then they forgot about those tragic events, went back to their usual work, and the situation remained calm during almost 20 years.
Then, suddenly, in the mid 70's, the figure rose abruptly to Stage II of denigration: 250,000 killings. Before long it rose again to Stage III: 300,000 killings, and arrived lately to Stage IV: 450,000 Jews killed by Romanians in WW II!
It should be stressed that these new figures have been published by Zionists alone, without any contribution or investigation underwritten by the Romanians. While the documentation for Stage I is available to any researcher and can be checked for accuracy at any time, the figures relating to Stages II, III, and IV, had been set up without any official documentation. If some new evidence to support a figure other than 15,000 had been found somewhere, this new evidence would have been published in some official journal under the aegis of both parties, but nothing of this kind was published by an authorized or specialized organization. In other words, it seems that the authors of the last three stages of denigration have changed the number of the dead by simply crossing out one figure and replacing it with another. According to this method, even the last figure of 450,000 can be changed at any time.
As a former Romanian, I was shocked when I first became aware of the second stage of denigration. This was in the 70's and since then I have looked for whatever proofs they might have gotten. I found nothing but memories of old people, recollections of tragic war events, and declarations made in general terms which, under no circumstances, could be considered as documents in support of such a grave and precise accusation as the one charging the Romanians with the killing of 450,000 Jews.
My secretary was in touch with Dr. Jean Ancel of Yad Vashem Archives. Mr. Ancel became a doctor with a dissertation on this very subject, The Romanian Jewry, in which he ranges himself in the Stage III of denigration. The university which conferred to him a doctoral degree for such a dissertation was the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My secretary sent Dr. Ancel three letters asking for an abstract of his dessertion. and also for any available proof in support of his version of the events. The letters were sent to no avail. Dr. Ancel answered only one letter saying that his figures are only approximate. However, Dr. Ancel is one of the specialists in the field of Romanian Jewry who can understand the importance of a proof when making such a grave statement. He refused to give any proof of his statements.
I With the others who are much under Ancel's level of education, it is useless to start any discussion because they become excited after the first question. In general, they consider that they and they alone possess the truth. Whatever view does not conform to their views is by definition a lie, immoral, anti-Semite, racist, and neo-Nazi. When these people write about those events, their writings are so full of vague and general statements that it is almost impossible for the concerned reader not to suspect them of posing as victims.
Here is an example. Ms. Juliana Geran Pilon is a Jew born in Romania. She wrote a book, Notes from the Other Side of the Night, (South Bend, IN.: Regnery Gateway, 1979) in which she states (page 125) that "nearly 300,000 Jews had been killed in Romania before the Germans even got there!" When the Germans got there, Ms. Pilon says further, they killed 150,000 more. Now, in order to understand the absurdity of such an allegation I should bring back to mind what happened in Romania in 1940, the year when the Germans came.
In recalling the history of those days I will use some data from a book written by an outstanding Zionist scholar, Professor Lucy Dawidowicz of Yeshiva University, NY. In her book, The War Against Jews, (New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1975) Ms. Dawidowicz declares that there were 750,000 Jews. in pre-war Romania, of which 300,000 lived in Bessarabia and 150,000 in Northern Transylvania. These two provinces Bessarabia and Northern Transylvania, had been lost by Romania in August 1940 under the pro-Jewish regime of King Carol II, when organized killing of Jews was impossible. The loss of the national territory put a shameful end to the corrupt regime of King Carol who was obliged to abdicate. He was chased from Romania together with his Jewish lover, Ms. Magda Wolf-Lupescu, his mentor and counselor. In September 1940, King Carol's pro-Jewish regime was replaced with the nationalist regime of General Antonescu. and in November 1940 the German troops entered Romania. This is the period referred to by Ms. Pilon when she writes that Romanians and Germans killed altogether 450,000 Jews. This could only happen under Antonescu, not, of course, under Carol.
Now, by simple subtraction, if we deduct 450,000 (300,000 Jews of Bessarabia plus 150,000 of Northern Transylvania) from the total Jewish population of about 750,00, we can see that nationalist Romania (i.e. Romania from 1940 to the end of the war, 1944) had only 300,000 Jews. It was therefore impossible for the Germans and Romanians to kill 450,000 Jews out of 300,000.
But there is more than that in Ms. Pilon's story.
First, let's see how Romanians could kill 300,000 Jews before the Germans even got there, as Ms. Pilon proclaims. Under King Carol it was impossible to organize any action against the Jews simply because they were at the control of the administration through Ms. Magda Wolf-Lupescu, the king's lover. She had complete dominion over the king because of some unique sexual peculiarities, the description of which would be unfit for this report. In fact, she was the uncrowned queen of Romania and nothing could take place in that country without her permission. In proof of this fact was the wild crushing of a Christian and nationalist movement (the Iron Guard) in 1938, when several thousand youngsters and students had been killed without trial or judicial procedures simply because they rose against the Jewish influence, the corruption, the decay, and the abuses perpetrated in those days in t1rat country. The mass murder of Jews would have only been possible under the nationalist regime of General Antonescu which took over in Romania in September 1940. According to Ms. Pilon, the Romanians killed 300,000 Jews "before the Germans even got there," Le. between September 1940 (advent of the nationalist regime) and November 1940 (German troops enter Romania), that is, in two months. Now, could this be possible? Can one kill 300,000 people and then evaporate the corpses? Of course, not. One has to put the corpses somewhere. One has to dig a grave for them and a grave of this size cannot remain hidden forever. No grave of this size or smaller has yet been discovered in Romania. There are hundreds of Jewish cemeteries in Romania, but all are standard cemeteries, the people buried there died of natural or accidental death.
In contrast, there are thousands of cemeteries of Romanian war heroes. There is even an American hero cemetery near Bucharest, on the same spot with a British hero cemetery. There are thousands of such graves all over Europe, from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Mediterranean, and from the Atlantic Ocean to Stalingrad. In Poland, it is impossible to cross one single district without coming upon a cemetery of Polish heroes. There are cemeteries of Jews, too, and even monuments. There are no such monuments or mausoleums for Jews in Romania, although Romania is the only communist country that has diplomatic relations with Israel. Moreover, Romania depends on the pro-Zionist votes of many American senators to get the Most Favored Nation clause. It would have been very easy for those influential American senators to cause President Ceausescu to erect a Jewish monument in Romania. However, neither American senators, nor Israelis have asked thus far for the erection of such a monument. The rationale? The Jews died in Romania because of various casualties inherent to any war, but not because of atrocities.
When 15,000 Polish officers and soldiers were killed at Katyn, the killers dug a huge grave and put the corpses there. If you went there at the time when the place was open for the public you could see the material proofs of what happened. You could see bones and skeletons and pieces of Polish uniforms and shoes and letters and photographs (damaged by the humidity of the soil) which were found in the pockets of the uniforms and even the bullets used in those killings. It had been impossible to hide 15,000 corpses; it had not been a matter of 15,000 matches or 15,000 pebbles; it had been a matter of 15,000 human bodies whose traces remain year after year after year. How could Romanians kill 300,000 Jews without leaving a trace? How could they hide almost half a million corpses, 30 times more than those of Katyn? Who can believe that Rabbi Dr. W. Filderman, the leader of Romanian Jews in WW II, was so indifferent as to leave unexplored a mass murder of such proportion if the least suspicion ever existed? He was far from being indifferent. He simply never even considered the possibility of a mass murder of Jews in Romania and therefore, being an honest Romanian Jew, signed a paper in which he put the largest number of dead at 15,000.
But let's analyze the second part of Ms. Pilon's assertion, that the Germans killed 150,000 Jews after they entered Romania. This again was impossible simply because at the end of the war the number of the Jews was as high as at the beginning of the war, i.e. in round figures about 300,000. This figure included the natural increase of the Jewish population during the war and of course did not comprise the dead from war casualties and those who emigrated clandestinely.
There were still two possibilities of killing Romanian Jews, one in Bessarabia (occupied by the Soviet Union) and the other in Northern Transylvania (occupied by the Hungarians). Neither one actually happened.
When the Romanian Troops entered Bessarabia in 1941 and reconquered that territory, very few Jews were found there. The majority had been either evacuated by the Soviets or had left by themselves in fear of reprisals. Many Jews had a criminal attitude toward the Romanians in retreat in 1940 when Bessarabia was ceded to Russia; they had gathered in armed bands and killed or disarmed many Romanian soldiers who had orders to retire without shooting. Therefore, in 1941, when the Romanians reconquered that territory, the Jews had already left in fear of reprisals.
As for the Jews of Northern Transylvania (occupied by Hungary) they had been put in camps by the Hungarians and very few returned after the war.
From the 300,000 Jews who were still in Romania after the war, about 130,000 emigrated to Israel (see the Statistical Bulletin of Israel, vol. 3, 1952-53) and about 140,000 to Western Europe and USA. There are still between 35,000 and 50,000 Jews in Romania today.
This is what remains, after analysis, of Ms. Pilon's imaginary charges. She is, however, considered a scholar in the U.S.A. and an expert in interpreting historical events. She has been recently promoted to the post of Assistant to Mr. Burton Pines, the Director of the United Nations Assessment Project, sponsored by the Heritage Foundation of Washington, DC. The purpose of this project is to condemn the United Nations Organization. When this organization was dominated by the Zionists, it was a good organization; but today, after the expulsion of Israel from the U.N.'s International Labor Organization and the condemnation of Israel for her attitude toward Arabs, U.N.O. is a bad organization and should be dissolved.
The suspicion of mass murders in Romania never existed before the 70's. All the humbug started in the 70's with articles in newspapers and books charging Romanians with the extermination of the Romanian Jewish population, but it was too late in the 70's, 30 years after the end of the war, to organize extermination camps in Romania in proof of mass murders. First, there appeared various attacks in small newspapers charging Romania with the killing of 250,000 Jews. Nobody protested. And then a big article was published by the New York Post, a newspaper of large circulation. A map was distributed by the Anti-Defamation League and the number of the alleged killings rose instantly to 300,000. The article and the map were given out in millions of copies. The map was published on the front page of a pamphlet and showed Europe and her different countries, each one with the amount of Jewish victims. Printed over Germany the accusation figure was 210,000. Over Romania, the figure was 300,000. Always on that map only the Jews were shown as victims. The text accompanying the map read clearly: 6,000,000 Jewish victims in total. No other victims.
However, if one took the time to add up the figures printed on that map, they would have arrived at a total of less than 6,000,000. It was therefore necessary to find somewhere another 150,000 victims to match the total of six million. The missing amount of victims was attributed to Romania. So there appeared the Stage IV of denigration, charging Romania with the killing of 450,000 Jews.
Another newspaper of large circulation, the Spectator of London, published the new figure in 1979. L'Express of Paris, a magazine of even larger circulation, published the same figure. This was because all these major newspapers of the United States, England and France were independent and arrived at the same precise conclusion, 450,000 victims, by mere coincidence.
Meanwhile, a spurious campaign against the Romanian Bishop of the U.S.A., Valerian D. Trifa, began with much noise and excitement and was conducted by Representative Elizabeth Holtzman, a Democrat of Brooklyn. Howard Blum, who was at that time on the staff of the pro-Zionist newspapers Village Voice and New York Times, edited a book aggressively titled Wanted: In Search of Nazis in America, charging Romania with the same figure. Many radio and TV programs were aired at about the same time whose slogan was more or less the same: Romanians murdered 450,000 Jews.
Now, you are entitled to ask-why this sudden campaign against Romania after 30 years of silence? The missing 150,000 from the worldwide publicized figure of 6 million did not justify such a virulent campaign. There must have been some other reason, perhaps monetary. This possibility deserves some attention.
Since the inauguration of the state of Israel in 1948, the German tax-payer has contributed to the welfare of Israel with an expiatory payment of about two billion dollars annually. In the last 30 years, the German contribution has amounted to over 60 billion dollars. During this same period the American taxpayer has contributed with friendly loans and endowments to Israel of a similar or bigger amount. Now, after 30 years of payments to Israel, expiatory or friendly, of about 4 billion dollars yearly, the taxpayer may get suspicious - mainly when we Americans cannot find funds for stringent national or local needs. In New York, for instance, the subway is a mess; the westside highway is closed because of its many potholes; public schools are a mockery because there are no funds to invest in education, and thousands of New-Yorkers are living in incredible conditions because the rent in New York is so high. However, there are always some billions to be sent to Israel for various purposes. But if the American taxpayer becomes aware of these many expenditures abroad, he may ask them to be stopped. It is therefore necessary for the Zionists to find new sources of incoming dollars or at least to preserve the existing ones. A denigration campaign against all European countries could very well serve this purpose; thus Romania was included in the campaign. One never can tell just how and when this inclusion has become fruitful.
It is true that many Jews were killed in Romania in the war; but also many Romanians, and Americans, and Germans, and Russians were killed in Romania at that time, as well as many other peoples. As we all know, what characterizes a war is cruelty and killing; killing not only by weapons, but by diseases too; by hunger, or simply by accidents. Soldiers and civilians, women and children, elders and youngsters, are killed in any war for many, many reasons, good or bad. Would it be fair if I made the chronicle of the war and complained of the tragic fate of one group only?
Let me put things an other way. I saw piles of corpses in that war. I saw a street full of corpses; various parts of bodies were spread over that street after a bombardment- feet, heads, hands and blood. I remember a pile of broken feet and arms on a sidewalk, a horrible pile. Who could tell what part belonged to whom in that pile? Who could tell what foot was Jewish, what arm Romanian, and what part of a body German? Nobody. But it would be an impiety to proclaim today that all those killed on that street were all Romanians and complain of the tragic fate of Romanians only.
Moreover, if I recall those times, what difference does it make whether 10,000 Russians were killed in an airstrike in Kiev, a city of Ukraine, or 10,000 Jews were killed in Transnistria because of typhus or hunger? What is the difference between 100,000 Germans killed at Stalingrad because of the freezing winter and hunger and 1,000 Russian Jews hanged in Odessa as guerillas? What difference is there between several hundreds of thousands of Romanian soldiers killed in Russia in the war and several thousands of Jews killed in Iasi, a city of Romania, because they shot to death Romanian soldiers? War is a madness in itself because the intelligent people of both sides cannot find other ways to settle their disputes. However, when the war and its horrors arrive at an end, a peace treaty is signed, debts are paid, borders are changed, and then we forget about it. Otherwise we would never finish a war. Not so with the Zionists. After 30 years they start another war-a war of words, and libels, and revenge, implying the Jews were the sole victims of the last war.
The social life in prewar Romania under the pro4ewish regime of King Carol was much like the social life in this country, almost the same decay. Pornography, adultery, blasphemy and all kinds of wicked attacks against Christianity were flourishing all over Romania. It happened that the two most influential newspapers, Adeverul and Dimineata, were under Jewish management and were the advocates of communism, the agents of demoralization among the youth, and the most powerful fighters against nationalism. Many Jews were law-abiding citizens, but it happened that the mistress of the king was a beautiful but vicious Jewish woman, Magda Wolf-Lupescu. Many political killings were perpetrated in Romania because of her bad influence upon the king. Of course, she never signed the actual order to kill, but the fact was that all nationalist activities and mainly those directed against the social decay, against the literature of filth, and against the strong Jewish influence in politics were prohibited and even punished. A youth movement against atheists, pornographers, and corrupt politicians emerged (called the Iron Guard) and it wanted to defend national values against the intruders and the agents of deception. In fact, the Iron Guard was fighting against all the agents of decay, whoever they might be. Many Jews were decent citizens and contributed to the advancement of culture, but some were the agents of decay; so, those students who fought against the latter were believed to fight against all Jews and the press ostracized them.
Some students who belonged to the Iron Guard in Iasi decided to build a student home, a Christian house for themselves, apart from the atheist student homes which existed at that time in Iasi. Well, the police of Iasi received the order to stop the building and all the Zionist newspapers began a vicious campaign against the Christian students. The charge was the same as today in this country: "they wanted to destroy the pluralism of Romania, they threatened to kill those who disagreed with their authoritarian position, they wanted to deny values in the name of Christianity, they were racists and assumed the right to divide the country in the name of patriotism."
In the opinion of many at that time, the Christian students had the same right to build their Christian house as the other students to have profane homes. However, the government was of another opinion. The government decided the students did not have that right and the chief of the police was sent on the spot to stop the building and disperse the students. Many students were harassed, some were arrested and some were summoned to court for the crime of trying to build a Christian home.
It was like today in this country: if some youngsters adhere to a Christian movement, they are considered sick, they must be deprogrammed and bills are sent to the legislators to curb them. Prayer is outlawed from schools and replaced with sex education. Christmas carols are considered disturbing by certain minorities. In contrast, the use of drugs, pornography and incest, sodomy and atheism, are presented by the influential mass media as acceptable standards of our culture, and all deceiving movements are free to spread in universities. Why? Because a depraved youth can be easily maneuvered. Depraved students today mean depraved leaders tomorrow; thus, a better opportunity for those who pull the strings today to take over tomorrow.
The same situation was in Romania and the agents who provoked that vicious situation in prewar Romania were the same as here. The students who wanted to stop the decay in Romania were sent to Court, the walls of their homes demolished, their families harassed-the newspapers cursed them. Many of those innocent students were barred from universities, sent to jail and their lives were spoiled forever. Years later, when the pro-Jewish regime of King Carol was replaced with a nationalist one, the students took revenge on those who spoiled their lives and killed them.
I do not approve of their actions even if I understand why they lost their heads and killed. My religion and theirs does not approve any murder, even if it is done in revenge. Were the students guilty of the killings? Of course, they were; but, at the same time, those who persecuted them were guilty as well.
However, the chroniclers of those events speak of the guilt of the students only, making the reader believe the persecutors were not guilty, and the same events take place in almost the same way in our days as half a century ago in Romania. There is nonsense in concealing the real meaning of the social movements and prevent people from drawing conclusions. History repeats itself whether we like it or not. This is in essence a very broad description of some thousand killings perpetrated in Romania in 1940-41. Other killings were due to other causes.
I was a high school student at that time. My father was a lawyer, and in 1941 he had to go to Iasi for some legal affairs. He took me with him to show me the city. It was a city of - portance in Romanian history and a visit there was considereo. part of a boy's education. It was soon after the beginning of the hostilities between Romania and communist Russia. We took a room at a hotel in Iasi. I remember very well that on the street facing the window of our room there marched long columns of soldiers, carts with horses, trucks with military equipment going to the war front. The street was narrow and the columns very long. It was soon after sunset. My father and I were preparing for dinner when suddenly we heard explosions down in the street. We went cautiously to the window and looked outside. We saw people in the building across the street shooting at the soldiers; some others were throwing grenades from the roof. It was a crazy act in those days and what happened then was hell. An officer ordered the march to stop and the soldiers to surround the block. In a short while, the whole block was in flames and under the fire of submachine guns. Then the march resumed and continued through midnight. We learned that those who fired at the soldiers from the other building were Romanian Jews acting as communist guerillas. Several hundred people were killed that evening, Romanian soldiers as well as Jewish guerillas, together with innocent people who lived in that block. Who was guilty of those killings? We were at war and there was no time to sit down and decide who was and who was not guilty.
Something similar happened a few months ago, in July 1981, when Israeli planes killed 300 people in Beirut; among those killed were a few PLO guerrillas, but the majority were civilians. Similar things happened several times in Iasi in those days of war when the Romanian Jews decided not to allow the Romanian army to go against their beloved Soviet Union. They were Romanian citizens, but many were communist first and then Romanian.
When my father finished his work in Iasi, we tried to go back to Bucharest, but we couldn't because the railway station had been bombed. In that bombing many people were killed, Romanians as well as Jews. Should I say that the pilot who dropped the bombs was anti-Semitic because he killed some Jews?
We stayed in Iasi several days until the station was fixed. During our sojourn there we learned of some other events. Jewish groups had organized underground communist cell structures, accumulated weapons and ammunition, fought as guerillas, and attacked the army of their country, Romania. They fought against the Romanian army not only in Iasi, but in many other cities. If reprisals were initiated against them, were the Romanians guilty?
A quarter of the city of Iasi was Jewish and the Jews lived in an area called "the Ghetto." They installed red electric bulbs in the chimneys of their houses, thus signaling to Russian planes when the blackout was on. From the street, the red light of the bulbs was invisible, but it was perfectly visible from above. So, when Soviet planes came at night, they knew where the city was and what area of the city to bomb. The Ghetto was never bombed, a miraculous thing until the police discovered the trick. Reprisals against the Jews were carried out again, and the question again arises: were the Romanian police guilty of the reprisals?
Dr. W. Filderman mentions in his Memoirs a letter dated 18 September 1940 (a few weeks after the nationalist regime took over in Bucharest) from General Antonescu in which the chief of state wrote: "… be assured, Mr. Filderman, (…) that, if your co-religionists will not sabotage openly Or furtively my regime on political or economic grounds, the Jewish population will have nothing to suffer (…). But the Jews-and I call your attention seriously to this matter without threatening you-the Jews must give up the methods they've used thus far (because this was the way of the former regime) of keeping down our economy, sapping our national identity, and exploiting our poverty."
It was a dialogue between the chief of state and the president of the Jewish communities soon after the inauguration of the nationalist regime in which the chief of state expressed his willingness to help the Jews, under the curcumstances, and asked the Jews to hold back from any acts of sabotage and diversion in order to avoid restrictive measures against them. However, the instructions to sabotage, spy, and divert came from far above Dr. Filderman's sphere: moreover, not all the Jews who populated Romania at that time were under Dr. Filderman's authority. The confrontation in World War II was of such a high level that the lives of some thousands of Jews and Romanians did not count. As a consequence, the Jews spied and the administration deported them to Transnistria. There were no hospitals there, food was scarce, the cities were in ruins, and many Jews who had been deported there died of different diseases and perhaps of hunger, much like today's Arabs who are chased into the desert from Palestine. The Russians who lived in Transnistria had the same fate, but I cannot confirm that they died because of Romanian anti-Russianism. Food and medicine were scarce everywhere in those days. Tens of thousands of Germans died at Stalingrad because of hunger and frost. In Bucharest we had no food, no gas, no medicine, and the casualties were numerous. All minorities as well as Romanians themselves suffered heavy casualties. We all took the situation as it was and buried the dead, even the Jews. However, after several decades, only the Jews recollect those events and complain to the world for their sufferings.
General Antonescu not only maintained a dialogue with the Jewish community, he even dismissed his Secretary of Cults, who closed some synagogues. This fact is also mentioned in Dr. Filderman's Memoirs. However, General Antonescu was labeled an anti-Semite and executed after the war.
Many feel happy to label Romanians as anti-Semites. Ms. Nicolette Frank, for instance, a Swiss newspaperwoman who was born in Romania as Nicolette Apotecker, edited a book in French, in 1977, La Roumanie dans Fengrenage (Romania in the Gearing). To the ordinary libel against her former country, Ms. Frank adds another which has the double advantage of striking at Romanians as well as at Christianity: she says that the Romanian Orthodox Church is the ferment of nationalism and anti-Semitism in Romania. However, she has the decency to mention something true: Adolph Eichman complained at one time of his difficulties in Romania because of General Antonescu's independent policies. Acting upon their own lines is indeed characteristic of Romanians and explains why their alliances have always been limited to needs. Hitler's Germany was very powerful in WW II. However, General Antonescu did not accept German interferrence in Romanian affairs. Today the Zionists are very powerful too, but few Romanians can accept their libel. One of these libels is that Romanians imitated Hitler's policies. In fact, Romanians curbed Jewish activities during the war not to imitate German policies, but because the Jews were more communist than Romanian at a time when Romania was at war with the Soviet Union.
To curb the Jews, Romania did the same thing that the United States did against her Japanese: she put them in camps. While in camps, the Jews had to work. In winter, they had to shovel the snow off of the streets. Sometimes they were sent to clean buildings or to remove debris. At night, they went home and stayed with their families until the next day. Our bread, meat butter and coffee were rationed. The Jews had no ration cards, so they organized their own food system using the free and black markets. They had to pay higher prices for food, it was true, but it was to their advantage: it was better to live that way than to die on the war front. They thus saved their fives at a time when hundreds of thousands of Romanians lost their lives in Russia.
As I mentioned before, I was a high school boy at the beginning of the war. One day, the boulevard in front of my school was full of Jews who shoveled the snow away. It was cold and they had slight means of warming themselves. Many shops on that boulevard were closed and those which were open were almost empty of food. But soon some wives and girls came over with thermos flasks of hot coffee, tea and snacks and nobody prevented them from distributing the food among the workers. They stopped their work, ate and drank, and then began their work again. When I finished my school that day and went home, there were no Jews on that boulevard; they went home, too. This was a so-called labor camp for Jews that I saw with my own eyes.
There were probably other camps where the work was harsher, but the Zionists speak today about the latter only, and never about the former. This is why their complaints appear doubtful to the concerned reader. If they were sincere, they would mention all aspects of their tribulations, good or bad, not only those which can be bargained for dollars.

Firstly, long before this campaign, in 1957, two scholars, one Romanian and the other Jew, met together and published a paper on this subject in Rome, Italy, in which the figure was 15,000, but not of Jews exterminated by the Romanians; it related to the Jewish casualties in Romania, which makes a big difference. The title of the paper was Regional Development of the Jewish Population in Romania and the authors were Dr. Sabin Manuila, formerly General Director of the Institute for Statistics of Romania and Dr. W. Filderman, formerly President of the Jewish Community of Romania. In other words, one was a high level specialist in the very field of statistics and census, the other was the head of the minority that pretends today the above stated extermination. Furthermore, both authors had qualifications beyond the level stated above. Manuila was a Corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the International Institute of Statistics. Filderman was a Rabbi, former Member of the Romanian Parliament, and President of the "Joint Distribution Committee" for Romania. In other words, both were intellectuals of a higher standard and knowledgeable, by their professions, in the development of the population in Romania. However, despite their scholarship, the figure set after their research work (15,000), was fully stretched in Jewish favor. I shall call this figure Stage I of denigration. They listed the largest figure mentioned in the statistical reports they made use of; for instance, if two reports came from the same village, one informing of 10 casualties and the other of 15, the researchers listed the largest figure, 15. Therefore, the real number of Jews who died in Romania in the war was between 10,000 and 15,000. Anyhow, after the publication of that paper, the two parties were more or less content with that figure, then they forgot about those tragic events, went back to their usual work, and the situation remained calm during almost 20 years.
Then, suddenly, in the mid 70's, the figure rose abruptly to Stage II of denigration: 250,000 killings. Before long it rose again to Stage III: 300,000 killings, and arrived lately to Stage IV: 450,000 Jews killed by Romanians in WW II!
It should be stressed that these new figures have been published by Zionists alone, without any contribution or investigation underwritten by the Romanians. While the documentation for Stage I is available to any researcher and can be checked for accuracy at any time, the figures relating to Stages II, III, and IV, had been set up without any official documentation. If some new evidence to support a figure other than 15,000 had been found somewhere, this new evidence would have been published in some official journal under the aegis of both parties, but nothing of this kind was published by an authorized or specialized organization. In other words, it seems that the authors of the last three stages of denigration have changed the number of the dead by simply crossing out one figure and replacing it with another. According to this method, even the last figure of 450,000 can be changed at any time.
As a former Romanian, I was shocked when I first became aware of the second stage of denigration. This was in the 70's and since then I have looked for whatever proofs they might have gotten. I found nothing but memories of old people, recollections of tragic war events, and declarations made in general terms which, under no circumstances, could be considered as documents in support of such a grave and precise accusation as the one charging the Romanians with the killing of 450,000 Jews.
My secretary was in touch with Dr. Jean Ancel of Yad Vashem Archives. Mr. Ancel became a doctor with a dissertation on this very subject, The Romanian Jewry, in which he ranges himself in the Stage III of denigration. The university which conferred to him a doctoral degree for such a dissertation was the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My secretary sent Dr. Ancel three letters asking for an abstract of his dessertion. and also for any available proof in support of his version of the events. The letters were sent to no avail. Dr. Ancel answered only one letter saying that his figures are only approximate. However, Dr. Ancel is one of the specialists in the field of Romanian Jewry who can understand the importance of a proof when making such a grave statement. He refused to give any proof of his statements.
I With the others who are much under Ancel's level of education, it is useless to start any discussion because they become excited after the first question. In general, they consider that they and they alone possess the truth. Whatever view does not conform to their views is by definition a lie, immoral, anti-Semite, racist, and neo-Nazi. When these people write about those events, their writings are so full of vague and general statements that it is almost impossible for the concerned reader not to suspect them of posing as victims.
Here is an example. Ms. Juliana Geran Pilon is a Jew born in Romania. She wrote a book, Notes from the Other Side of the Night, (South Bend, IN.: Regnery Gateway, 1979) in which she states (page 125) that "nearly 300,000 Jews had been killed in Romania before the Germans even got there!" When the Germans got there, Ms. Pilon says further, they killed 150,000 more. Now, in order to understand the absurdity of such an allegation I should bring back to mind what happened in Romania in 1940, the year when the Germans came.
In recalling the history of those days I will use some data from a book written by an outstanding Zionist scholar, Professor Lucy Dawidowicz of Yeshiva University, NY. In her book, The War Against Jews, (New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1975) Ms. Dawidowicz declares that there were 750,000 Jews. in pre-war Romania, of which 300,000 lived in Bessarabia and 150,000 in Northern Transylvania. These two provinces Bessarabia and Northern Transylvania, had been lost by Romania in August 1940 under the pro-Jewish regime of King Carol II, when organized killing of Jews was impossible. The loss of the national territory put a shameful end to the corrupt regime of King Carol who was obliged to abdicate. He was chased from Romania together with his Jewish lover, Ms. Magda Wolf-Lupescu, his mentor and counselor. In September 1940, King Carol's pro-Jewish regime was replaced with the nationalist regime of General Antonescu. and in November 1940 the German troops entered Romania. This is the period referred to by Ms. Pilon when she writes that Romanians and Germans killed altogether 450,000 Jews. This could only happen under Antonescu, not, of course, under Carol.
Now, by simple subtraction, if we deduct 450,000 (300,000 Jews of Bessarabia plus 150,000 of Northern Transylvania) from the total Jewish population of about 750,00, we can see that nationalist Romania (i.e. Romania from 1940 to the end of the war, 1944) had only 300,000 Jews. It was therefore impossible for the Germans and Romanians to kill 450,000 Jews out of 300,000.
But there is more than that in Ms. Pilon's story.
First, let's see how Romanians could kill 300,000 Jews before the Germans even got there, as Ms. Pilon proclaims. Under King Carol it was impossible to organize any action against the Jews simply because they were at the control of the administration through Ms. Magda Wolf-Lupescu, the king's lover. She had complete dominion over the king because of some unique sexual peculiarities, the description of which would be unfit for this report. In fact, she was the uncrowned queen of Romania and nothing could take place in that country without her permission. In proof of this fact was the wild crushing of a Christian and nationalist movement (the Iron Guard) in 1938, when several thousand youngsters and students had been killed without trial or judicial procedures simply because they rose against the Jewish influence, the corruption, the decay, and the abuses perpetrated in those days in t1rat country. The mass murder of Jews would have only been possible under the nationalist regime of General Antonescu which took over in Romania in September 1940. According to Ms. Pilon, the Romanians killed 300,000 Jews "before the Germans even got there," Le. between September 1940 (advent of the nationalist regime) and November 1940 (German troops enter Romania), that is, in two months. Now, could this be possible? Can one kill 300,000 people and then evaporate the corpses? Of course, not. One has to put the corpses somewhere. One has to dig a grave for them and a grave of this size cannot remain hidden forever. No grave of this size or smaller has yet been discovered in Romania. There are hundreds of Jewish cemeteries in Romania, but all are standard cemeteries, the people buried there died of natural or accidental death.
In contrast, there are thousands of cemeteries of Romanian war heroes. There is even an American hero cemetery near Bucharest, on the same spot with a British hero cemetery. There are thousands of such graves all over Europe, from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Mediterranean, and from the Atlantic Ocean to Stalingrad. In Poland, it is impossible to cross one single district without coming upon a cemetery of Polish heroes. There are cemeteries of Jews, too, and even monuments. There are no such monuments or mausoleums for Jews in Romania, although Romania is the only communist country that has diplomatic relations with Israel. Moreover, Romania depends on the pro-Zionist votes of many American senators to get the Most Favored Nation clause. It would have been very easy for those influential American senators to cause President Ceausescu to erect a Jewish monument in Romania. However, neither American senators, nor Israelis have asked thus far for the erection of such a monument. The rationale? The Jews died in Romania because of various casualties inherent to any war, but not because of atrocities.
When 15,000 Polish officers and soldiers were killed at Katyn, the killers dug a huge grave and put the corpses there. If you went there at the time when the place was open for the public you could see the material proofs of what happened. You could see bones and skeletons and pieces of Polish uniforms and shoes and letters and photographs (damaged by the humidity of the soil) which were found in the pockets of the uniforms and even the bullets used in those killings. It had been impossible to hide 15,000 corpses; it had not been a matter of 15,000 matches or 15,000 pebbles; it had been a matter of 15,000 human bodies whose traces remain year after year after year. How could Romanians kill 300,000 Jews without leaving a trace? How could they hide almost half a million corpses, 30 times more than those of Katyn? Who can believe that Rabbi Dr. W. Filderman, the leader of Romanian Jews in WW II, was so indifferent as to leave unexplored a mass murder of such proportion if the least suspicion ever existed? He was far from being indifferent. He simply never even considered the possibility of a mass murder of Jews in Romania and therefore, being an honest Romanian Jew, signed a paper in which he put the largest number of dead at 15,000.
But let's analyze the second part of Ms. Pilon's assertion, that the Germans killed 150,000 Jews after they entered Romania. This again was impossible simply because at the end of the war the number of the Jews was as high as at the beginning of the war, i.e. in round figures about 300,000. This figure included the natural increase of the Jewish population during the war and of course did not comprise the dead from war casualties and those who emigrated clandestinely.
There were still two possibilities of killing Romanian Jews, one in Bessarabia (occupied by the Soviet Union) and the other in Northern Transylvania (occupied by the Hungarians). Neither one actually happened.
When the Romanian Troops entered Bessarabia in 1941 and reconquered that territory, very few Jews were found there. The majority had been either evacuated by the Soviets or had left by themselves in fear of reprisals. Many Jews had a criminal attitude toward the Romanians in retreat in 1940 when Bessarabia was ceded to Russia; they had gathered in armed bands and killed or disarmed many Romanian soldiers who had orders to retire without shooting. Therefore, in 1941, when the Romanians reconquered that territory, the Jews had already left in fear of reprisals.
As for the Jews of Northern Transylvania (occupied by Hungary) they had been put in camps by the Hungarians and very few returned after the war.
From the 300,000 Jews who were still in Romania after the war, about 130,000 emigrated to Israel (see the Statistical Bulletin of Israel, vol. 3, 1952-53) and about 140,000 to Western Europe and USA. There are still between 35,000 and 50,000 Jews in Romania today.
This is what remains, after analysis, of Ms. Pilon's imaginary charges. She is, however, considered a scholar in the U.S.A. and an expert in interpreting historical events. She has been recently promoted to the post of Assistant to Mr. Burton Pines, the Director of the United Nations Assessment Project, sponsored by the Heritage Foundation of Washington, DC. The purpose of this project is to condemn the United Nations Organization. When this organization was dominated by the Zionists, it was a good organization; but today, after the expulsion of Israel from the U.N.'s International Labor Organization and the condemnation of Israel for her attitude toward Arabs, U.N.O. is a bad organization and should be dissolved.
The suspicion of mass murders in Romania never existed before the 70's. All the humbug started in the 70's with articles in newspapers and books charging Romanians with the extermination of the Romanian Jewish population, but it was too late in the 70's, 30 years after the end of the war, to organize extermination camps in Romania in proof of mass murders. First, there appeared various attacks in small newspapers charging Romania with the killing of 250,000 Jews. Nobody protested. And then a big article was published by the New York Post, a newspaper of large circulation. A map was distributed by the Anti-Defamation League and the number of the alleged killings rose instantly to 300,000. The article and the map were given out in millions of copies. The map was published on the front page of a pamphlet and showed Europe and her different countries, each one with the amount of Jewish victims. Printed over Germany the accusation figure was 210,000. Over Romania, the figure was 300,000. Always on that map only the Jews were shown as victims. The text accompanying the map read clearly: 6,000,000 Jewish victims in total. No other victims.
However, if one took the time to add up the figures printed on that map, they would have arrived at a total of less than 6,000,000. It was therefore necessary to find somewhere another 150,000 victims to match the total of six million. The missing amount of victims was attributed to Romania. So there appeared the Stage IV of denigration, charging Romania with the killing of 450,000 Jews.
Another newspaper of large circulation, the Spectator of London, published the new figure in 1979. L'Express of Paris, a magazine of even larger circulation, published the same figure. This was because all these major newspapers of the United States, England and France were independent and arrived at the same precise conclusion, 450,000 victims, by mere coincidence.
Meanwhile, a spurious campaign against the Romanian Bishop of the U.S.A., Valerian D. Trifa, began with much noise and excitement and was conducted by Representative Elizabeth Holtzman, a Democrat of Brooklyn. Howard Blum, who was at that time on the staff of the pro-Zionist newspapers Village Voice and New York Times, edited a book aggressively titled Wanted: In Search of Nazis in America, charging Romania with the same figure. Many radio and TV programs were aired at about the same time whose slogan was more or less the same: Romanians murdered 450,000 Jews.
Now, you are entitled to ask-why this sudden campaign against Romania after 30 years of silence? The missing 150,000 from the worldwide publicized figure of 6 million did not justify such a virulent campaign. There must have been some other reason, perhaps monetary. This possibility deserves some attention.
Since the inauguration of the state of Israel in 1948, the German tax-payer has contributed to the welfare of Israel with an expiatory payment of about two billion dollars annually. In the last 30 years, the German contribution has amounted to over 60 billion dollars. During this same period the American taxpayer has contributed with friendly loans and endowments to Israel of a similar or bigger amount. Now, after 30 years of payments to Israel, expiatory or friendly, of about 4 billion dollars yearly, the taxpayer may get suspicious - mainly when we Americans cannot find funds for stringent national or local needs. In New York, for instance, the subway is a mess; the westside highway is closed because of its many potholes; public schools are a mockery because there are no funds to invest in education, and thousands of New-Yorkers are living in incredible conditions because the rent in New York is so high. However, there are always some billions to be sent to Israel for various purposes. But if the American taxpayer becomes aware of these many expenditures abroad, he may ask them to be stopped. It is therefore necessary for the Zionists to find new sources of incoming dollars or at least to preserve the existing ones. A denigration campaign against all European countries could very well serve this purpose; thus Romania was included in the campaign. One never can tell just how and when this inclusion has become fruitful.
It is true that many Jews were killed in Romania in the war; but also many Romanians, and Americans, and Germans, and Russians were killed in Romania at that time, as well as many other peoples. As we all know, what characterizes a war is cruelty and killing; killing not only by weapons, but by diseases too; by hunger, or simply by accidents. Soldiers and civilians, women and children, elders and youngsters, are killed in any war for many, many reasons, good or bad. Would it be fair if I made the chronicle of the war and complained of the tragic fate of one group only?
Let me put things an other way. I saw piles of corpses in that war. I saw a street full of corpses; various parts of bodies were spread over that street after a bombardment- feet, heads, hands and blood. I remember a pile of broken feet and arms on a sidewalk, a horrible pile. Who could tell what part belonged to whom in that pile? Who could tell what foot was Jewish, what arm Romanian, and what part of a body German? Nobody. But it would be an impiety to proclaim today that all those killed on that street were all Romanians and complain of the tragic fate of Romanians only.
Moreover, if I recall those times, what difference does it make whether 10,000 Russians were killed in an airstrike in Kiev, a city of Ukraine, or 10,000 Jews were killed in Transnistria because of typhus or hunger? What is the difference between 100,000 Germans killed at Stalingrad because of the freezing winter and hunger and 1,000 Russian Jews hanged in Odessa as guerillas? What difference is there between several hundreds of thousands of Romanian soldiers killed in Russia in the war and several thousands of Jews killed in Iasi, a city of Romania, because they shot to death Romanian soldiers? War is a madness in itself because the intelligent people of both sides cannot find other ways to settle their disputes. However, when the war and its horrors arrive at an end, a peace treaty is signed, debts are paid, borders are changed, and then we forget about it. Otherwise we would never finish a war. Not so with the Zionists. After 30 years they start another war-a war of words, and libels, and revenge, implying the Jews were the sole victims of the last war.
The social life in prewar Romania under the pro4ewish regime of King Carol was much like the social life in this country, almost the same decay. Pornography, adultery, blasphemy and all kinds of wicked attacks against Christianity were flourishing all over Romania. It happened that the two most influential newspapers, Adeverul and Dimineata, were under Jewish management and were the advocates of communism, the agents of demoralization among the youth, and the most powerful fighters against nationalism. Many Jews were law-abiding citizens, but it happened that the mistress of the king was a beautiful but vicious Jewish woman, Magda Wolf-Lupescu. Many political killings were perpetrated in Romania because of her bad influence upon the king. Of course, she never signed the actual order to kill, but the fact was that all nationalist activities and mainly those directed against the social decay, against the literature of filth, and against the strong Jewish influence in politics were prohibited and even punished. A youth movement against atheists, pornographers, and corrupt politicians emerged (called the Iron Guard) and it wanted to defend national values against the intruders and the agents of deception. In fact, the Iron Guard was fighting against all the agents of decay, whoever they might be. Many Jews were decent citizens and contributed to the advancement of culture, but some were the agents of decay; so, those students who fought against the latter were believed to fight against all Jews and the press ostracized them.
Some students who belonged to the Iron Guard in Iasi decided to build a student home, a Christian house for themselves, apart from the atheist student homes which existed at that time in Iasi. Well, the police of Iasi received the order to stop the building and all the Zionist newspapers began a vicious campaign against the Christian students. The charge was the same as today in this country: "they wanted to destroy the pluralism of Romania, they threatened to kill those who disagreed with their authoritarian position, they wanted to deny values in the name of Christianity, they were racists and assumed the right to divide the country in the name of patriotism."
In the opinion of many at that time, the Christian students had the same right to build their Christian house as the other students to have profane homes. However, the government was of another opinion. The government decided the students did not have that right and the chief of the police was sent on the spot to stop the building and disperse the students. Many students were harassed, some were arrested and some were summoned to court for the crime of trying to build a Christian home.
It was like today in this country: if some youngsters adhere to a Christian movement, they are considered sick, they must be deprogrammed and bills are sent to the legislators to curb them. Prayer is outlawed from schools and replaced with sex education. Christmas carols are considered disturbing by certain minorities. In contrast, the use of drugs, pornography and incest, sodomy and atheism, are presented by the influential mass media as acceptable standards of our culture, and all deceiving movements are free to spread in universities. Why? Because a depraved youth can be easily maneuvered. Depraved students today mean depraved leaders tomorrow; thus, a better opportunity for those who pull the strings today to take over tomorrow.
The same situation was in Romania and the agents who provoked that vicious situation in prewar Romania were the same as here. The students who wanted to stop the decay in Romania were sent to Court, the walls of their homes demolished, their families harassed-the newspapers cursed them. Many of those innocent students were barred from universities, sent to jail and their lives were spoiled forever. Years later, when the pro-Jewish regime of King Carol was replaced with a nationalist one, the students took revenge on those who spoiled their lives and killed them.
I do not approve of their actions even if I understand why they lost their heads and killed. My religion and theirs does not approve any murder, even if it is done in revenge. Were the students guilty of the killings? Of course, they were; but, at the same time, those who persecuted them were guilty as well.
However, the chroniclers of those events speak of the guilt of the students only, making the reader believe the persecutors were not guilty, and the same events take place in almost the same way in our days as half a century ago in Romania. There is nonsense in concealing the real meaning of the social movements and prevent people from drawing conclusions. History repeats itself whether we like it or not. This is in essence a very broad description of some thousand killings perpetrated in Romania in 1940-41. Other killings were due to other causes.
I was a high school student at that time. My father was a lawyer, and in 1941 he had to go to Iasi for some legal affairs. He took me with him to show me the city. It was a city of - portance in Romanian history and a visit there was considereo. part of a boy's education. It was soon after the beginning of the hostilities between Romania and communist Russia. We took a room at a hotel in Iasi. I remember very well that on the street facing the window of our room there marched long columns of soldiers, carts with horses, trucks with military equipment going to the war front. The street was narrow and the columns very long. It was soon after sunset. My father and I were preparing for dinner when suddenly we heard explosions down in the street. We went cautiously to the window and looked outside. We saw people in the building across the street shooting at the soldiers; some others were throwing grenades from the roof. It was a crazy act in those days and what happened then was hell. An officer ordered the march to stop and the soldiers to surround the block. In a short while, the whole block was in flames and under the fire of submachine guns. Then the march resumed and continued through midnight. We learned that those who fired at the soldiers from the other building were Romanian Jews acting as communist guerillas. Several hundred people were killed that evening, Romanian soldiers as well as Jewish guerillas, together with innocent people who lived in that block. Who was guilty of those killings? We were at war and there was no time to sit down and decide who was and who was not guilty.
Something similar happened a few months ago, in July 1981, when Israeli planes killed 300 people in Beirut; among those killed were a few PLO guerrillas, but the majority were civilians. Similar things happened several times in Iasi in those days of war when the Romanian Jews decided not to allow the Romanian army to go against their beloved Soviet Union. They were Romanian citizens, but many were communist first and then Romanian.
When my father finished his work in Iasi, we tried to go back to Bucharest, but we couldn't because the railway station had been bombed. In that bombing many people were killed, Romanians as well as Jews. Should I say that the pilot who dropped the bombs was anti-Semitic because he killed some Jews?
We stayed in Iasi several days until the station was fixed. During our sojourn there we learned of some other events. Jewish groups had organized underground communist cell structures, accumulated weapons and ammunition, fought as guerillas, and attacked the army of their country, Romania. They fought against the Romanian army not only in Iasi, but in many other cities. If reprisals were initiated against them, were the Romanians guilty?
A quarter of the city of Iasi was Jewish and the Jews lived in an area called "the Ghetto." They installed red electric bulbs in the chimneys of their houses, thus signaling to Russian planes when the blackout was on. From the street, the red light of the bulbs was invisible, but it was perfectly visible from above. So, when Soviet planes came at night, they knew where the city was and what area of the city to bomb. The Ghetto was never bombed, a miraculous thing until the police discovered the trick. Reprisals against the Jews were carried out again, and the question again arises: were the Romanian police guilty of the reprisals?
Dr. W. Filderman mentions in his Memoirs a letter dated 18 September 1940 (a few weeks after the nationalist regime took over in Bucharest) from General Antonescu in which the chief of state wrote: "… be assured, Mr. Filderman, (…) that, if your co-religionists will not sabotage openly Or furtively my regime on political or economic grounds, the Jewish population will have nothing to suffer (…). But the Jews-and I call your attention seriously to this matter without threatening you-the Jews must give up the methods they've used thus far (because this was the way of the former regime) of keeping down our economy, sapping our national identity, and exploiting our poverty."
It was a dialogue between the chief of state and the president of the Jewish communities soon after the inauguration of the nationalist regime in which the chief of state expressed his willingness to help the Jews, under the curcumstances, and asked the Jews to hold back from any acts of sabotage and diversion in order to avoid restrictive measures against them. However, the instructions to sabotage, spy, and divert came from far above Dr. Filderman's sphere: moreover, not all the Jews who populated Romania at that time were under Dr. Filderman's authority. The confrontation in World War II was of such a high level that the lives of some thousands of Jews and Romanians did not count. As a consequence, the Jews spied and the administration deported them to Transnistria. There were no hospitals there, food was scarce, the cities were in ruins, and many Jews who had been deported there died of different diseases and perhaps of hunger, much like today's Arabs who are chased into the desert from Palestine. The Russians who lived in Transnistria had the same fate, but I cannot confirm that they died because of Romanian anti-Russianism. Food and medicine were scarce everywhere in those days. Tens of thousands of Germans died at Stalingrad because of hunger and frost. In Bucharest we had no food, no gas, no medicine, and the casualties were numerous. All minorities as well as Romanians themselves suffered heavy casualties. We all took the situation as it was and buried the dead, even the Jews. However, after several decades, only the Jews recollect those events and complain to the world for their sufferings.
General Antonescu not only maintained a dialogue with the Jewish community, he even dismissed his Secretary of Cults, who closed some synagogues. This fact is also mentioned in Dr. Filderman's Memoirs. However, General Antonescu was labeled an anti-Semite and executed after the war.
Many feel happy to label Romanians as anti-Semites. Ms. Nicolette Frank, for instance, a Swiss newspaperwoman who was born in Romania as Nicolette Apotecker, edited a book in French, in 1977, La Roumanie dans Fengrenage (Romania in the Gearing). To the ordinary libel against her former country, Ms. Frank adds another which has the double advantage of striking at Romanians as well as at Christianity: she says that the Romanian Orthodox Church is the ferment of nationalism and anti-Semitism in Romania. However, she has the decency to mention something true: Adolph Eichman complained at one time of his difficulties in Romania because of General Antonescu's independent policies. Acting upon their own lines is indeed characteristic of Romanians and explains why their alliances have always been limited to needs. Hitler's Germany was very powerful in WW II. However, General Antonescu did not accept German interferrence in Romanian affairs. Today the Zionists are very powerful too, but few Romanians can accept their libel. One of these libels is that Romanians imitated Hitler's policies. In fact, Romanians curbed Jewish activities during the war not to imitate German policies, but because the Jews were more communist than Romanian at a time when Romania was at war with the Soviet Union.
To curb the Jews, Romania did the same thing that the United States did against her Japanese: she put them in camps. While in camps, the Jews had to work. In winter, they had to shovel the snow off of the streets. Sometimes they were sent to clean buildings or to remove debris. At night, they went home and stayed with their families until the next day. Our bread, meat butter and coffee were rationed. The Jews had no ration cards, so they organized their own food system using the free and black markets. They had to pay higher prices for food, it was true, but it was to their advantage: it was better to live that way than to die on the war front. They thus saved their fives at a time when hundreds of thousands of Romanians lost their lives in Russia.
As I mentioned before, I was a high school boy at the beginning of the war. One day, the boulevard in front of my school was full of Jews who shoveled the snow away. It was cold and they had slight means of warming themselves. Many shops on that boulevard were closed and those which were open were almost empty of food. But soon some wives and girls came over with thermos flasks of hot coffee, tea and snacks and nobody prevented them from distributing the food among the workers. They stopped their work, ate and drank, and then began their work again. When I finished my school that day and went home, there were no Jews on that boulevard; they went home, too. This was a so-called labor camp for Jews that I saw with my own eyes.
There were probably other camps where the work was harsher, but the Zionists speak today about the latter only, and never about the former. This is why their complaints appear doubtful to the concerned reader. If they were sincere, they would mention all aspects of their tribulations, good or bad, not only those which can be bargained for dollars.

Românii și Holocaustul
Dr. SERBAN C. ANDRONESCU
( Prezentată la Conferința revizionistă din 1981 )
În ultimul deceniu, în cărți și ziare legate de Holocaustul din România au apărut diverse povești. Autorii acestor povesti pretindeau că românii au ucis aproape jumătate de milion de evrei în cel de-al II-lea război mondial; au ajuns la această cifră într-o manieră ciudată.
În primul rând, cu mult înainte de această campanie, în 1957, doi savanți, unul român și celălalt evreu, s-au întâlnit și au publicat o lucrare pe acest subiect în Roma, Italia, în care cifra era de 15.000, dar nu de evreii exterminați de români; se referă la victimele evreilor din România, ceea ce face o mare diferență. Titlul lucrării a fost Dezvoltarea regională a populației evreiești din România, iar autorii au fost dr. Sabin Manuila, fost director general al Institutului de Statistică din România și dr. W. Filderman, fost președinte al comunității evreiești din România. Cu alte cuvinte, unul a fost un specialist la nivel înalt în domeniul statisticii și al recensământului, celălalt a fost șeful minorității care pretinde astăzi exterminarea declarată mai sus. Mai mult, ambii autori au avut calificări dincolo de nivelul menționat mai sus. Manuila a fost membru corespondent al Academiei Române de Științe și membru al Institutului Internațional de Statistică.Filderman a fost un rabin, fost membru al Parlamentului României și președinte al "Comitetului mixt de distribuție" pentru România. Cu alte cuvinte, ambii au fost intelectuali de un standard mai înalt și cunoștinți, prin profesiile lor, în dezvoltarea populației din România. Cu toate acestea, în ciuda bursei lor, cifra stabilită după activitatea lor de cercetare (15.000), a fost complet întinsă în favoarea evreilor. Voi numi această figură Etapa I a denigrației. Acestea au indicat cea mai mare cifră menționată în rapoartele statistice pe care le-au folosit; de exemplu, în cazul în care două rapoarte au provenit din același sat, o informare despre 10 victime, iar cealaltă despre 15, cercetătorii au enumerat cea mai mare cifră, 15. De aceea, numărul real al evreilor care au murit în România în război a fost între 10.000 și 15.000. Oricum, după publicarea acestei lucrări, cele două părți erau mai mult sau mai puțin mulțumite de această figură, apoi au uitat de evenimentele tragice, s-au întors la munca obișnuită și situația a rămas calmă în aproape 20 de ani.
Apoi, dintr-o dată, la mijlocul anilor 70, cifra a crescut brusc până la Etapa a doua a denigrației: 250.000 de ucideri. Nu mai mult timp a urcat din nou la Etapa a III-a: 300.000 de crime și a sosit în ultima etapă în Etapa a IV-a: 450.000 de evrei uciși de români în cel de-al II-lea război mondial!
Trebuie subliniat faptul că aceste cifre noi au fost publicate doar de sioniști, fără contribuția sau ancheta subscrisă de români. În timp ce documentația pentru Etapa I este disponibilă pentru orice cercetător și poate fi verificată în orice moment, cifrele referitoare la Etapele II, III și IV au fost stabilite fără o documentație oficială. Dacă ar fi fost găsite undeva unele dovezi noi care să susțină o altă cifră decât 15 000, aceste noi dovezi ar fi fost publicate în unele reviste oficiale sub egida ambelor părți, dar nimic de acest gen nu a fost publicat de o organizație autorizată sau specializată. Cu alte cuvinte, se pare că autorii ultimelor trei etape ale denigrației au schimbat numărul de morți prin simpla trecere a unei figuri și înlocuirea ei cu altul. Conform acestei metode, chiar și ultima cifră de 450.000 poate fi schimbată în orice moment.
Ca fost român, am fost șocat când am devenit prima dată conștientă de a doua etapă a denigrației. Aceasta a fost în anii '70 și de atunci am căutat dovezile pe care le-ar fi putut obține. Nu am găsit decât amintiri ale unor bătrâni, amintiri ale evenimentelor de război tragice și declarații făcute în termeni generali, care, în niciun caz, nu puteau fi considerate ca documente care să susțină o acuzație atât de gravă și precisă ca cea care îi acuza pe români de uciderea de 450.000 de evrei.
Secretarul meu era în legătură cu Dr. Jean Ancel din Arhivele Yad Vashem. Dl. Ancel a devenit doctor cu o disertație despre acest subiect, "Evreimea românească" , în care se distinge în etapa a III-a a denigrației. Universitatea care ia conferit o diplomă de doctorat pentru o astfel de disertație a fost Universitatea Ebraică din Ierusalim. Secretarul meu ia trimis lui Dr. Ancel trei scrisori, cerând un rezumat al deserturii sale. precum și pentru orice dovezi disponibile în sprijinul versiunii sale de evenimente. Scrisorile au fost trimise fără nici un rezultat. Doctorul Ancel a răspuns doar o singură scrisoare spunând că cifrele sale sunt doar aproximative. Cu toate acestea, dr. Ancel este unul dintre specialiștii din domeniul evreimii românești care poate înțelege importanța unei dovezi atunci când face o asemenea declarație gravă. El a refuzat să dea dovadă a afirmațiilor sale.
I Cu ceilalți care sunt mult sub nivelul de educație al lui Ancel, este inutil să începeți orice discuție deoarece ei devin excitați după prima întrebare. În general, ei consideră că aceștia și ei singuri posedă adevărul. Orice viziune nu este conformă cu opiniile lor este prin definiție o minciună, imorală, antisemită, rasistă și neo-nazistă. Când acești oameni scriu despre acele evenimente, scrierile lor sunt atât de pline de afirmații vagi și generale că este aproape imposibil ca cititorul în cauză să nu le bănuiască că ar fi reprezentat victime.
Iată un exemplu. Dna Juliana Geran Pilon este un evreu nascut in Romania. Ea a scris o carte, Note din partea cealaltă a nopții (South Bend, IN: Regnery Gateway, 1979), în care afirmă (pag. 125) că "aproape 300.000 de evrei au fost uciși în România înainte ca germanii să ajungă acolo ! "Când germanii au ajuns acolo, doamna Pilon spune mai departe, au ucis încă 150.000. Acum, pentru a înțelege absurditatea unei astfel de acuzații, ar trebui să-mi amintesc ce sa întâmplat în România în 1940, anul în care au venit germanii.
În amintirea istoriei acelor zile, voi folosi câteva date dintr-o carte scrisă de un savant remarcabil sionist, profesorul Lucy Dawidowicz de la Universitatea Yeshiva, NY. În cartea ei " Războiul împotriva evreilor" (New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1975) doamna Dawidowicz declară că erau 750 000 de evrei. în România dinainte de război, dintre care 300.000 au trăit în Basarabia și 150.000 în Transilvania de Nord. Aceste două provincii Basarabia și Transilvania de Nord au fost pierdute de România în august 1940 în regimul pro-evreu al regelui Carol al II-lea, când uciderea organizată a evreilor a fost imposibilă. Pierderea teritoriului național a pus capăt rușinii regimului corupt al regelui Carol, care era obligat să abdice. A fost urmărit din România împreună cu iubitul său evreu, dna Magda Wolf-Lupescu, mentorul și consilierul său. În septembrie 1940, regimul pro-evreu al regelui Carol a fost înlocuit cu regimul naționalist al generalului Antonescu. iar în noiembrie 1940 trupele germane au intrat în România. Aceasta este perioada menționată de doamna Pilon când scrie că românii și germanii au ucis în total 450.000 de evrei. Acest lucru se putea întâmpla numai sub Antonescu, nu, desigur, sub Carol.
Acum, prin scăderea simplă, dacă deducem 450.000 (300.000 de evrei din Basarabia plus 150.000 din Transilvania de Nord) din totalul populației evreiești de aproximativ 750.00, putem vedea că România naționalistă (adică România din 1940 până la sfârșitul războiului, 1944) avea doar 300.000 de evrei. Prin urmare, germanii și românii nu au putut să omoare 450 000 de evrei din 300 000.
Dar este mai mult decât atât în povestea doamnei Pilon.
În primul rând, să vedem cum au putut românii să ucidă 300.000 de evrei înainte ca germanii să ajungă acolo, așa cum declară doamna Pilon. Sub regele Carol, era imposibil să se organizeze acțiuni împotriva evreilor doar pentru că erau sub controlul administrației prin dna Magda Wolf-Lupescu, iubita regelui. Avea o stăpânire deplină asupra regelui din cauza unor particularități sexuale unice, a căror descriere ar fi necorespunzătoare pentru acest raport. De fapt, ea era regina necruțătă a României și nimic nu putea avea loc în acea țară fără permisiunea ei. O dovadă a acestui fapt a fost zdrobirea sălbatică a unei mișcări creștine și naționaliste (Garda de Fier) în 1938, când mai multe mii de tineri și studenți au fost uciși fără proceduri judiciare sau judecătorești pur și simplu pentru că s-au ridicat împotriva influenței evreiești, a corupției, degradarea și abuzurile comise în acele zile în țara în care trăiți. Asasinarea în masă a evreilor ar fi fost posibilă numai sub regimul naționalist al generalului Antonescu, care a preluat în România în septembrie 1940. Potrivit doamnei Pilon, românii au ucis 300.000 de evrei "înainte ca germanii să ajungă acolo", Le. între septembrie 1940 (apariția regimului naționalist) și noiembrie 1940 (trupele germane intră în România), adică în două luni.Acum, ar fi posibil acest lucru? Poate cineva ucide 300.000 de oameni și apoi se evaporă cadavrele? Desigur că nu. Trebuie să pună cadavrele undeva. Trebuie să săpați un mormânt pentru ei și un mormânt de această dimensiune nu poate rămâne ascuns pentru totdeauna. Nici un mormânt de această dimensiune sau mai mic nu a fost încă descoperit în România. Există sute de cimitire evreiești în România, dar toate sunt cimitire standard, oamenii îngropați acolo murind de moarte naturală sau accidentală.
Dimpotrivă, există mii de cimitire ale eroilor români de război. Există chiar un cimitir american de eroi lângă București, în același loc cu un cimitir britanic de eroi. Există mii de astfel de morminte în întreaga Europă, de la Marea Baltică în nord până la Marea Mediterană și de la Oceanul Atlantic până la Stalingrad. În Polonia, este imposibil să traversați un singur cartier fără a veni peste un cimitir de eroi polonezi. Există și cimitire ale evreilor și chiar monumente. Nu există asemenea monumente sau mausolee pentru evrei din România, deși România este singura țară comunistă care are relații diplomatice cu Israelul. Mai mult, România depinde de voturile pro-sioniste ale multor senatori americani pentru a obține clauza națiunii celei mai favorizate. Ar fi fost foarte ușor pentru acei senatori americani influenți să-i facă pe președintele Ceaușescu să ridice un monument evreiesc în România. Cu toate acestea, nici senatorii americani, nici israelienii nu au cerut până acum să construiască un astfel de monument. Motivul?Evreii au murit în România din cauza diferitelor pierderi inerente oricărui război, dar nu din cauza atrocităților.
Atunci când 15.000 de ofițeri și soldați polonezi au fost uciși la Katyn, ucigașii au săpat un mormânt imens și au pus cadavrele acolo. Dacă ați fost acolo în momentul în care locul a fost deschis publicului, ați putea vedea dovezile materiale despre ce sa întâmplat. Puteai vedea oase și schelete și bucăți de uniforme poloneze și pantofi, scrisori și fotografii (deteriorate de umiditatea solului), care se găseau în buzunarele uniformelor și chiar și în gloanțele folosite în aceste crime. Era imposibil să ascunzi 15.000 de cadavre; nu a fost o chestiune de 15 000 de meciuri sau 15 000 de pietricele;a fost o chestiune de 15.000 de organisme umane ale căror urme rămân an după an după an. Cum ar putea românii să omoare 300 000 de evrei fără a lăsa urme? Cum ar putea ascunde aproape o jumătate de milion de cadavre, de 30 de ori mai mari decât cele din Katyn? Cine poate crede că rabinul dr. W. Filderman, liderul evreilor români în cel de-al II-lea război mondial, a fost atât de indiferent încât a lăsat neexploatat o crimă în masă cu o asemenea proporție dacă cea mai mică suspiciune a existat vreodată? El a fost departe de a fi indiferent. El nu a considerat nici măcar posibilitatea unei omoruri în masă a evreilor din România și, prin urmare, fiind un evreu cinstit român, a semnat o lucrare în care a pus cel mai mare număr de morți la 15.000.
Dar să analizăm a doua parte a afirmației doamnei Pilon, că germanii au ucis 150.000 de evrei după ce au intrat în România. Aceasta a fost din nou imposibilă doar pentru că la sfârșitul războiului numărul evreilor era la fel de ridicat ca la începutul războiului, adică în cifre rotunde de aproximativ 300.000. Această cifră a inclus creșterea naturală a populației evreiești în timpul războiului și, bineînțeles, nu a cuprins morții de la victimele războiului și cei care au emigrat în mod clandestin.
Au existat încă două posibilități de ucidere a evreilor români, una în Basarabia (ocupată de Uniunea Sovietică) și cealaltă în Transilvania de Nord (ocupată de maghiari). Nici unul nu sa întâmplat.
Când trupele române au intrat în Basarabia în 1941 și au recucerit acel teritoriu, foarte puțini evrei au fost găsiți acolo. Majoritatea fusese fie evacuată de sovietici, fie plecându-se de teamă de represalii. Mulți evrei au avut o atitudine criminală față de români în retragere în 1940, când Basarabia a fost cedată Rusiei; se adunaseră în trupe armate și ucideau sau dezarmeau mulți soldați români care aveau ordin să se retragă fără a trage. Prin urmare, în 1941, când românii au recăpătat acel teritoriu, evreii au plecat deja din teama de represalii.
În ceea ce privește evreii din Transilvania de Nord (ocupați de Ungaria), ei au fost puși în lagăre de către unguri și foarte puțini au revenit după război.
Din cele 300.000 de evrei care erau încă în România după război, aproximativ 130.000 au emigrat în Israel (vezi Buletinul statistic al Israelului , vol. 3, 1952-53) și aproximativ 140.000 în Europa de Vest și SUA. În România există încă între 35.000 și 50.000 de evrei.
Aceasta rămâne, după analiză, acuzațiile imaginare ale doamnei Pilon. Ea este, cu toate acestea, considerată un cărturar în SUA și un expert în interpretarea evenimentelor istorice. A fost recent promovată la postul de asistent al dlui Burton Pines, directorul Proiectului de evaluare al Organizației Națiunilor Unite, sponsorizat de Fundația Heritage din Washington, DC. Scopul acestui proiect este de a condamna Organizația Națiunilor Unite. Când această organizație era dominată de sioniști, aceasta era o organizație bună; dar astăzi, după expulzarea Israelului de la Organizația Internațională a Muncii a ONU și condamnarea Israelului pentru atitudinea sa față de arabi, ONU este o organizație proastă și ar trebui dizolvată.
Suspiciunea crimelor în masă din România nu a existat niciodată înainte de anii '70. Toți frații au început în anii '70 cu articole din ziare și cărți care îi încarcă pe români cu exterminarea populației evreiești românești, însă a fost prea târziu în anii '70, la 30 de ani de la sfârșitul războiului, să se organizeze lagăre de exterminare în România de omoruri în masă. În primul rând, au apărut diverse atacuri în ziare mici, care acuzau România de uciderea a 250.000 de evrei. Nimeni nu a protestat. Apoi, un articol mare a fost publicat de New York Post, un ziar de circulație mare. O hartă a fost distribuită de Liga anti-defăimare, iar numărul presupuselor crime a crescut instantaneu la 300.000.Articolul și harta au fost scrise în milioane de exemplare. Harta a fost publicată pe prima pagină a unui broșură și a arătat Europa și țările sale diferite, fiecare cu numărul victimelor evreiești. Imprimat peste Germania, cifra de acuzare a fost de 210.000. În România, cifra era de 300.000. Întotdeauna pe această hartă numai evreii au fost arătați victime. Textul care însoțește hărțile citește clar: 6 000 000 de victime evreiești în total.Nicio altă victimă.
Totuși, dacă cineva și-a dat timp să adune cifrele imprimate pe acea hartă, ar fi ajuns la un total de mai puțin de 6.000.000. Prin urmare, a fost necesar să se găsească undeva alte 150 000 de victime care să corespundă celor șase milioane. Suma lipsă a victimelor a fost atribuită României. Așa că a apărut Etapa IV a denigrației, care a acuzat România de uciderea a 450.000 de evrei.
Un alt ziar de circulație mare, The Spectator of London, a publicat noua figură în 1979. L'Express de Paris, o revistă de circulație chiar mai mare, a publicat aceeași figură.Acest lucru se datorează faptului că toate aceste ziare importante din Statele Unite, Anglia și Franța erau independente și au ajuns la aceeași concluzie exactă, 450 000 de victime, prin simpla coincidență.
Între timp, o campanie falsă împotriva episcopului român al SUA, Valerian D. Trifa, a început cu multă zgomot și emoție și a fost condusă de reprezentantul Elizabeth Holtzman, un democrat din Brooklyn. Howard Blum, care era la vremea respec- tivă în personalul ziarelor pro-sioniste Village Voice și New York Times , a editat o carte agresiv intitulată " Căutăm: în căutarea naziștilor în America" , încărcând România cu aceeași figură. Multe emisiuni radio și TV au fost difuzate în jurul aceleiași perioade, al căror slogan era mai mult sau mai puțin același: românii au ucis 450.000 de evrei.
Acum, aveți dreptul să întrebați - de ce această campanie bruscă împotriva României după 30 de ani de tăcere? Lipsa a 150.000 din cifra de 6 milioane publicate la nivel mondial nu justifica o astfel de campanie virulenta. Trebuie să fi existat și un alt motiv, probabil monetar. Această posibilitate merită o atenție deosebită.
De la inaugurarea statului Israel în 1948, contribuabilul german a contribuit la bunăstarea Israelului cu o plată expiatorie de aproximativ două miliarde de dolari anual.În ultimii 30 de ani, contribuția germană sa ridicat la peste 60 de miliarde de dolari. În aceeași perioadă, contribuabilul american a contribuit cu împrumuturi amabile și cu dotări către Israel de o sumă similară sau mai mare. Acum, după 30 de ani de plăți către Israel, expirator sau prietenos, de aproximativ 4 miliarde de dolari pe an, contribuabilul poate deveni suspicios - în special atunci când noi, americanii, nu găsim fonduri pentru nevoi stringente naționale sau locale. În New York, de exemplu, metroul este o mizerie;autostrada Westside este închisă din cauza numeroaselor gropi; școlile publice sunt o batjocură pentru că nu există fonduri pentru a investi în educație și mii de New-Yorkers trăiesc în condiții incredibile, deoarece chiria din New York este atât de mare. Cu toate acestea, există întotdeauna câteva miliarde pentru a fi trimise Israelului în diverse scopuri. Dar dacă contribuabilul american devine conștient de aceste multe cheltuieli în străinătate, el îi poate cere să fie oprit. Este, prin urmare, necesar ca sioniștii să găsească noi surse de venituri sau, cel puțin, să păstreze cele existente. O campanie de denigrare împotriva tuturor țărilor europene ar putea servi foarte bine acestui scop;astfel România a fost inclusă în campanie. Nu se poate spune niciodată cum și când această includere a devenit fructuoasă.
Este adevărat că mulți evrei au fost uciși în România în război; dar și mulți români, americani, germani și ruși au fost uciși în România la acel moment, precum și multe alte popoare. După cum știm cu toții, ceea ce caracterizează un război este cruzimea și uciderea; uciderea nu numai prin arme, ci și prin boli; de foame sau pur și simplu de accidente. Soldații și civilii, femeile și copiii, bătrânii și tinerii sunt uciși în orice război din multe, multe motive, bune sau rele. Ar fi corect dacă am făcut cronica războiului și m-am plâns de soarta tragică a unui singur grup?
Lasă-mă să pun lucrurile în alt fel. Am văzut mormane de cadavre în acel război. Am văzut o stradă plină de cadavre; diferite părți ale corpurilor au fost răspândite peste acea stradă după o bombardament - picioare, capete, mâini și sânge. Îmi amintesc o grămadă de picioare și brațe zdrobite pe un trotuar, o grămadă oribilă. Cine putea să spună ce parte îi aparținea în acea grămadă? Cine putea spune ce picior era evreu, ce braț românesc și ce parte dintr-un corp german? Nimeni. Dar ar fi o impietrie să proclamăm astăzi că toți cei uciși pe acea stradă erau toți români și se plângeau de soarta tragică a românilor.
Mai mult, dacă-mi amintesc acele vremuri, ce diferență are dacă 10 000 de ruși au fost uciși într-o bombă de la Kiev, un oraș din Ucraina, sau 10.000 de evrei au fost uciși în Transnistria din cauza tifosului sau a foametei? Care este diferența dintre 100.000 de germani uciși la Stalingrad din cauza iernii înghețate și a foametei și 1.000 de evrei ruși au fost spînzurați în Odessa ca gherilă? Ce diferență există între câteva sute de mii de soldați români uciși în Rusia în război și câteva mii de evrei uciși în Iași, oraș din România, pentru că au împușcat morți români? Războiul este o nebunie în sine, deoarece oamenii inteligenți ai ambelor părți nu pot găsi alte modalități de a-și rezolva disputele. Cu toate acestea, atunci când războiul și ororile sale ajung la sfârșit, se semnează un tratat de pace, datoriile sunt plătite, frontierele sunt schimbate și apoi uităm de asta. În caz contrar, nu vom termina niciodată un război. Nu la fel cu sioniștii.După 30 de ani, ei încep un alt război - un război de cuvinte, calomniințe și răzbunare, ceea ce înseamnă că evreii erau singurii victime ale ultimului război.
Viața socială din România dinainte de război, sub regimul proewish al regelui Carol, se asemăna mult cu viața socială din această țară, aproape aceeași decădere.Pornografia, adulterul, blasfemia și tot felul de atacuri rele împotriva creștinismului au înflorit în toată România. Sa întâmplat că cele două ziare cele mai influente, Adeverul și Dimineata, se aflau sub conducerea evreilor și erau avocații comunismului, agenții demoralizării în rândul tinerilor și cei mai puternici luptători împotriva naționalismului.Mulți evrei erau cetățeni care respectau legea, dar sa întâmplat că amanta regelui era o femeie evreiască frumoasă, dar vagă, Magda Wolf-Lupescu. Multe crime politice au fost comise în România din cauza influenței sale rele asupra regelui. Bineînțeles, ea nu a semnat niciodată ordinul de a ucide, dar faptul că toate activitățile naționaliste și mai ales cele îndreptate împotriva dezintegrării sociale, împotriva literaturii murdăriei și împotriva influenței evreiești puternice în politică au fost interzise și chiar pedepsite. O mișcare a tineretului împotriva ateilor, pornografilor și politicienilor corupți a apărut (numită Garda de Fier) și dorea să apere valorile naționale împotriva intrușilor și a agenților de înșelăciune. De fapt, Garda de Fier lupta împotriva tuturor agenților decăderii, indiferent cine ar fi. Mulți evrei au fost cetățeni decent și au contribuit la avansarea culturii, dar unii au fost agenți ai decăderii; astfel, acei studenți care au luptat împotriva celor din urmă s-au crezut că luptă împotriva tuturor evreilor, iar presa le-a ostracizat.
Unii studenți care au aparținut Gărzii de Fier din Iași au hotărât să construiască o casă de cult, o casă creștină pentru ei înșiși, în afară de casele de ateu care existau la Iași. Ei bine, poliția din Iași a primit ordinul de a opri clădirea și toate ziarele sioniste au început o campanie viciară împotriva elevilor creștini. Acuzația era aceeași ca în prezent în această țară: "ei doreau să distrugă pluralismul României, amenințau să ucidă pe cei care nu erau de acord cu poziția lor autoritară, au vrut să nege valori în numele creștinismului, erau rasiste și și-au asumat dreptul de a împărți țara în numele patriotismului ".
În opinia multora din acea vreme, elevii creștini aveau același drept să-și construiască casa creștină ca ceilalți studenți pentru a avea case profane. Cu toate acestea, guvernul a fost de altă părere. Guvernul a decis că studenții nu aveau acest drept, iar șeful poliției a fost trimis la fața locului pentru a opri clădirea și a dispersa studenții. Mulți studenți au fost hărțuiți, unii au fost arestați și unii au fost chemați în instanță pentru infracțiunea de a încerca să construiască o casă creștină.
A fost ca și astăzi în această țară: dacă unii tineri aderă la o mișcare creștină, ei sunt considerați bolnavi, trebuie să fie deprogramați și facturile sunt trimise legiuitorilor pentru ai împiedica. Rugăciunea este scoasă în afara legii din școli și înlocuită cu educația sexuală. Crăciunele sunt considerate a fi deranjante de anumite minorități.Dimpotrivă, folosirea drogurilor, pornografia și incestul, sodomia și ateismul sunt prezentate de mass-media influente ca standarde acceptabile ale culturii noastre și toate mișcările înșelătoare sunt libere să se răspândească în universități. De ce? Pentru că un tânăr depravat poate fi ușor manevrat. Studenții îndrăgit astăzi înseamnă lideri depraviți mâine; astfel, o oportunitate mai bună pentru cei care trag astăzi șirurile de azi să preia mâine.
Aceeași situație se întâmpla și în România, iar agenții care au provocat această situație viciară în România de dinainte de război erau la fel ca aici. Studenții care au dorit să oprească decăderea în România au fost trimiși în curte, zidurile casei lor au fost demolate, familiile lor au fost hărțuite - ziarele le-au blestemat. Mulți dintre acei studenți nevinovați au fost interzisi din universități, trimiși în închisoare, iar viețile lor au fost răsfățați pentru totdeauna. Anii mai târziu, când regimul pro-evreu al regelui Carol a fost înlocuit cu un regim naționalist, elevii s-au răzbunat pe cei care și-au răsfățat viața și i-au ucis.
Nu aprob acțiunile lor, chiar dacă înțeleg de ce și-au pierdut capul și au fost uciși.Religia mea și a lor nu aprobă nici o crimă, chiar dacă se face în răzbunare. Studenții erau vinovați de asasinatele? Desigur, au fost; dar, în același timp, cei care îi persecutau erau și ei vinovați.
Cu toate acestea, cronicarii acestor evenimente vorbesc numai despre vina studenților, făcând cititorul să creadă că persecutorii nu sunt vinovați, iar aceleași evenimente au loc în aproape același fel în zilele noastre, cu o jumătate de veac în urmă în România.Există un nonsens în ascunderea sensului real al mișcărilor sociale și împiedicarea oamenilor de a trage concluzii. Istoria se repetă dacă ne place sau nu. Aceasta este, în esență, o descriere foarte amplă a câteva mii de ucideri comise în România în anii 1940-1941. Alte crime au fost cauzate de alte cauze.
Eram student la liceu în acel moment. Tatăl meu a fost avocat, iar în 1941 trebuia să meargă la Iași pentru unele treburi legale. Ma luat cu el să-mi arate orașul. Acesta a fost un oraș al istoriei românești și o vizită la care a fost examinată. parte din educația băiatului. La scurt timp după începerea ostilităților dintre România și Rusia comunistă.Am luat o cameră la un hotel din Iași. Îmi amintesc foarte bine că pe strada de la fereastra camerei noastre au mers coloane lungi de soldați, căruțe cu cai, camioane cu echipament militar care mergeau în fața războiului. Strada era îngustă și coloanele erau foarte lungi. Era curând după apusul soarelui. Tatăl meu și cu mine eram pregătiți să luăm cina, când am auzit deodată explozii pe stradă. Am mers prudent la fereastră și am privit afară. Am văzut oameni în clădirea de pe stradă, împușcați la soldați; alții au aruncat grenade de pe acoperiș. A fost un act nebun în acele zile și ceea ce sa întâmplat apoi a fost iad. Un ofițer a ordonat marșul să se oprească și soldații să înconjoare blocul. Într-o scurtă vreme, întregul bloc era în flăcări și sub focul pistoalelor de mitralieră. Apoi marșul a reluat și a continuat până la miezul nopții. Am aflat că cei care au tras la soldați din cealaltă clădire erau evrei români care acționau ca gherilă comunistă. Câteva sute de oameni au fost uciși în acea seară, soldați români, precum și gherilă evreiască, împreună cu oameni nevinovați care locuiau în acel bloc. Cine a fost vinovat de aceste crime? Am fost în război și nu mai era timp să ne așezăm și să hotărâm cine este și cine nu era vinovat.
Ceva similar sa întâmplat cu câteva luni în urmă, în iulie 1981, când avioanele israeliene au ucis 300 de oameni în Beirut; printre cei uciși au fost câțiva gherilă PLO, dar majoritatea erau civili. Asemenea lucruri s-au întâmplat de mai multe ori în Iași în acele zile de război când evreii români au decis să nu permită armatei române să se opună iubitei lor Uniuni Sovietice. Ei erau cetățeni români, dar mulți erau primii comuni și apoi români.
Când tatăl meu și-a terminat munca în Iași, am încercat să ne întoarcem la București, dar nu am putut pentru că gara a fost bombardată. În acel bombardament, mulți oameni au fost uciși, atât români, cât și evrei. Trebuie să spun că pilotul care a abandonat bombele a fost antisemit, pentru că la ucis pe niște evrei?
Am rămas în Iași câteva zile până când stația a fost fixată. În timpul șederii noastre am aflat de alte evenimente. Grupurile evreiești au organizat structuri de celule comuniste subterane , au acumulat arme și muniții, s-au luptat ca gherile și au atacat armata țării lor, România. Ei au luptat împotriva armatei române nu numai în Iași, ci și în multe alte orașe. Dacă împotriva lor s-ar fi declanșat represalii, s-au făcut vinovați de români?
Un sfert din orașul Iași era evreu, iar evreii locuiau într-o zonă numită "ghetoul". Au instalat becuri roșii electrice în coșurile casei lor, semnând astfel avioanelor rusești când a existat întreruperea. Din stradă, lumina roșie a becurilor era invizibilă, dar era perfect vizibilă de sus. Deci, când avioanele sovietice au venit noaptea, au știut unde este orașul și ce zonă a orașului să bombească. Ghetoul nu a fost niciodată bombardat, un lucru miraculos până când poliția a descoperit trucul. Au fost repetate represaliile împotriva evreilor și se ridică din nou întrebarea: dacă poliția românească a fost vinovată de represalii?
Dr. W. Filderman menționează în memoriile sale o scrisoare din 18 septembrie 1940 (la câteva săptămâni după ce regimul naționalist a preluat la București) de la generalul Antonescu, în care șeful statului a scris: "... fiți siguri, dle Filderman (... ) că, în cazul în care co-religioșii dvs. nu se vor sabotează în mod deschis sau în mod firav regimul meu pe motive politice sau economice, populația evreiască nu va avea nimic de suferit (...).Dar evreii - și vă adresez atenția cu seriozitate acestei chestiuni fără a vă amenința - evreii trebuie să renunțe la metodele pe care le-au folosit până acum (pentru că aceasta a fost calea fostului regim) de a ne menține economia, identitatea și exploatarea sărăciei noastre ".
A fost un dialog între șeful statului și președintele comunităților evreiești, imediat după inaugurarea regimului naționalist, în care șeful statului și-a exprimat dorința de a ajuta evreii în circumstanțe și a cerut evreilor să se opună orice acte de sabotaj și deturnare, pentru a evita măsurile restrictive împotriva lor. Cu toate acestea, instrucțiunile de sabotaj, spionaj și deturnare au provenit de departe de sfera dr. Filderman: în plus, nu toți evreii care au populat România la vremea respectivă au fost sub autoritatea dr. Filderman. Confruntarea în cel de-al doilea război mondial a fost la un nivel atât de înalt încât viața a câtorva mii de evrei și români nu a fost luată în calcul. În consecință, evreii au spionat și administrația le-a deportat în Transnistria. Nu exista spitale acolo, mâncarea era rară,orașele erau în ruine și mulți evrei care au fost deportați acolo au murit de diferite boli și poate de foame, la fel ca arabii de astăzi care sunt urmăriți în deșert din Palestina. Rușii care locuiau în Transnistria aveau aceeași soartă, dar nu pot să confirm că au murit din cauza anti-rusismului românesc. Alimentele și medicamentele erau limitate oriunde în acele zile. Zeci de mii de germani au murit la Stalingrad din cauza foamei și înghețului. În București nu aveam mâncare, nici gaz, nici medicamente, iar victimele erau numeroase. Toate minoritățile, precum și românii, au suferit pierderi grele. Toți am luat situația așa cum a fost și am îngropat pe cei morți, chiar pe evrei. Cu toate acestea, după câteva decenii, numai evreii își amintesc aceste evenimente și se plâng de lume pentru suferințele lor.iar mulți evrei care au fost deportați acolo au murit de diferite boli și poate de foame, la fel ca arabii de astăzi care sunt urmăriți în deșert din Palestina.

Generalul Antonescu nu numai că a ținut un dialog cu comunitatea evreiască, dar chiar și ia demis pe secretarul său de culte, care a închis unele sinagogi. Acest fapt este menționat și în memoriile lui Dr. Filderman. Cu toate acestea, generalul Antonescu a fost numit un antisemit și executat după război.
Mulți se simt fericiți să eticheteze românii ca antisemiți. Dna Nicolette Frank, de exemplu, o ziaristă elvețiană care sa născut în România ca Nicolette Apotecker, a editat o carte în limba franceză, în 1977, La Roumanie dans Fengrenage (România în Gearing). La crima obișnuită împotriva fostei sale țări, doamna Frank adaugă un altul care are dublul avantaj al loviturilor atât la români, cât și la creștinism: ea spune că Biserica Ortodoxă Română este fermentul naționalismului și antisemitismului în România. Cu toate acestea, are decența de a menționa ceva adevărat: Adolph Eichman sa plâns la un moment dat de dificultățile sale în România datorită politicilor independente ale generalului Antonescu. Acționând pe propriile lor linii este într-adevăr caracteristică românilor și explică de ce alianțele lor au fost întotdeauna limitate la nevoi. Hitler“Germania a fost foarte puternică în cel de-al doilea război mondial. Cu toate acestea, generalul Antonescu nu a acceptat interferența germană în afacerile românești. Astăzi sioniștii sunt și ei foarte puternici, dar puțini români își pot accepta calomnia. Una dintre aceste calomnie este că românii au imitat politicile lui Hitler. De fapt, românii au oprit activitățile evreiești în timpul războiului pentru a nu imita politicile germane, ci pentru că evreii erau mai mult comunici decât români într-un moment în care România era în război cu Uniunea Sovietică.ci pentru că evreii erau mai mult comuniști decât români într-un moment în care România era în război cu Uniunea Sovietică.ci pentru că evreii erau mai mult comuniști decât români într-un moment în care România era în război cu Uniunea Sovietică.
Pentru a opri evreii, România a făcut același lucru pe care Statele Unite l-au făcut împotriva japonezilor ei: le-a pus în tabere. În timp ce erau în tabere, evreii trebuiau să lucreze. În timpul iernii, au trebuit să strângă zăpada de pe străzi. Uneori au fost trimise la clădiri curate sau pentru a îndepărta resturile. Pe timp de noapte, ei s-au dus acasă și au rămas cu familiile lor până a doua zi. Pâinea noastră, untul și cafeaua au fost raționalizate. Evreii nu aveau carduri raționale, așa că și-au organizat propriul sistem alimentar pe piețele libere și negre. Ei trebuiau să plătească prețuri mai ridicate pentru alimente, era adevărat, dar era în avantajul lor: era mai bine să trăim în acest fel decât să murim pe frontul de război. Astfel, ei și-au salvat deciziile într-un moment în care sute de mii de români și-au pierdut viața în Rusia.
După cum am menționat mai devreme, eram băiat de liceu la începutul războiului. Într-o zi, bulevardul din fața școlii mele era plin de evrei care au zbătat zăpada. Era rece și aveau mijloace ușoare de încălzire. Multe magazine de pe acel bulevard erau închise, iar cele care erau deschise erau aproape goale. Dar, curând, câteva soții și fete au venit cu termos de cafea fierbinte, ceai și gustări și nimeni nu ia împiedicat să distribuie mâncarea printre muncitori. Ei și-au încetat lucrul, au mâncat și au băut, și apoi au început munca lor din nou. Când am terminat școala mea în acea zi și m-am întors acasă, pe acest bulevard nu erau evrei; au plecat si acasa. Aceasta a fost o așa-numită tabără de muncă pentru evrei pe care am văzut-o cu ochii mei.
Probabil că au existat și alte tabere în care lucrarea era mai aspru, dar sioniștii vorbesc astăzi numai despre aceasta, și niciodată despre cei dintâi. Acesta este motivul pentru care reclamațiile lor apar îndoielnice cititorului în cauză. Dacă s-ar fi sincer, vor menționa toate aspectele necazurilor lor, bune sau rele, nu numai cele care pot fi negociate pentru dolari.
