Description Based on documents from Romanian, German, and Russian archives, examines Ion Antonescu's policy toward the Jews during his military dictatorship (1940-44) and his responsibility for the mass deportations to Transnistria and the massacres of Jews in Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Odessa. Analyzes his nationalistic and antisemitic ideology, as well as his attitudes during the Bucharest pogrom (January 1941) and the Iași pogrom (June 1941). Discusses the circumstances of Antonescu's agreement and then refusal in 1942 to engage in the Nazi plan of total annihilation of Romanian Jewry. Concludes that Antonescu's regime was responsible for the death of at least 350,000 Jews, including 100,000 Ukrainian Jews.
