This is fascinating. Those here who know current Romania should comment. Romania during the Holocaust was much more violently Judeophobic than Germany. Romanian army units literally burned many Jews alive in Odessa in revenge for Soviet guerrillas blowing up the Romanian Army headquarters and killing a lot of Romanians. Just in general average Romanians acted savagely towards Jews The nationalist Iron Guard violence towards Jews made the SA look polite and orderly by their example. Now Romania is taking the lead in moving its embassy to Jerusalem and generally courting Israel.

Romania was under the Nazis, then became a Soviet satellite with Russia-installed little dictators.
The last of these was Ceaucescu. An interesting 1st-person account of the revolution that overthrew him is The Hole in The Flag by Romanian ex-pat poet who, I believe, now lives in New Orleans, Andrei Codrescu.
