Mass Murderers of the 20th Century- Marshal Ion Antonescu [09:59]
Country: Romania. Kill tally: About 400000 Jews and up to 500000 soldiers. Background: Romania achieves full independence from the Ottoman Empire on 3 March 1878. In March 1881 the Romanian parliament proclaims the country a kingdom. Led by King Carol I, Romania's first constitutional monarch, the new nation is deeply nationalistic and determined to maintain its freedom. However, the ethnically Romanian regions of Transylvania to the west, and Bukovina and Bessarabia to the north and east remain outside the state, with Transylvania staying under the sway of Hungry and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Meanwhile, Romania's Jewish population begins to expand rapidly during the 19th Century, mainly as a result of immigration. By 1899 the population has grown to 269000. By 1939 it is estimated at 760000, making Romania's Jewish community the third largest in Eastern Europe, after the Soviet Union and Poland. Many Romanians see the newcomers as an economic threat. Jews face persecution and most are prevented from taking Romanian citizenship.

Ideology of Romanian Fascism (Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia) [09:47]
The terrorist Antonescu and the Iron Guard became communists after 1944. Before this, they slaughtered Jews without mercy, then turned on the Hungarians, especially following the Nuremberg International Trial judgment of October 2, 1946, which invalidated the Peace Treaty of Trianon. Many thousands of Hungarians vanished from the three neighboring countries so that these states would be able to retain these territories and the temporary, 10-year infrastructure under which they were placed.
