List of Jews from Leova Interned in Cahul Camp July 22, 1941 Introduction by Joel Waters In memory of Liba Vasserman, my Great Grandmother, who died in Cahul along with many of her neighbors. Background: Following the June 22, 1941 Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union the Germans moved quickly across Bessarabia and Bucovina into Ukraine, leaving control of these two former Romanian territories to Romanian Prime Minister, Ion Antonescu. Antonescu was intent on cleansing his land of the Jews, and in late July 1941 started assembling the Jews into transit camps in preparation for their eventual deportation across the Dneister River. Of course, many Jews were killed along the way, or died in the transit camps of hunger, exposure, and disease. By October 8, 1941 when Ion Antonescu ordered the deportation of all Jews from Bessarabia and Bucovina on more than half of the Jewish population of Bessarabia had already perished. The survivors were sent across the Dneister river into Transnistria.
