    RÎMARU BUTCHER OF BUCHAREST by Mike Phillips and Stejărel Olaru Edited by Ramona Mitrică PROFUSION CRIME SERIES Profusion, London 2012 Rîmaru - Butcher of Bucharest Prologue Th e spring and early summer of 1970 was an eventful and momentous period for Romania. April and May saw a combination of unusual and extreme weather conditions. Torrential rains were accompanied by high winds and a heatwave which melted the frozen icefi elds of the Carpathian mountaintops. In the fi rst weeks of May, the rivers rising in the Carpathians or fl owing down from the high ground into the Danube began to overfl ow, signalling the start of a notable disaster. Th e Danube rises in Germany’s Black Forest and runs through Austria and Hungary down to its Delta in South East Romania. Famed for its beauty and benevolence, the Danube has also been, by tradition, the most important transport and communications link between and within the regions it serves. As it nears its fi nal destination, the river is fed by a multitude of streams rushing downhill from the Carpathians to join it, and these waters nourish the most heavily populated and intensely cultivated plains and valleys in the region. Within this landscape, fl oods are not unusual. 1970, however, was exceptional. In one hectic month, between the 12th of May and the middle of June, the fl oods killed more than two hundred people, drowned over a hundred thousand cattle and farm animals, and destroyed thousands of houses, leaving a quarter of a million people homeless. Low-lying villages were evacuated to centres 5 Mike Phillips and Stejărel Olaru higher up, the majority of farmland was inundated and industry went into recession.

  • FINAL REPORT International Commission on the Holocaust In
    FINAL REPORT of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania Presented to Romanian President Ion Iliescu November 11, 2004 Bucharest, Romania NOTE: The English text of this Report is currently in preparation for publication. © International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania. All rights reserved. THE HOLOCAUST IN ROMANIA The National Legionary State and Its Attempt to Solve the “Jewish Question” According to Antonescu’s supporters, the leadership of the Legion had three objectives in terms of the Jews: to take revenge, instill terror, and acquire property.1 In order to reach these objectives, the Guard had to control the state’s repressive functions. The National Legionary government of September 14, 1940, had fifteen ministers appointed by the Legionary movement. Additionally, by September 20, 1940, Legion members also held the key position of prefect in forty-five counties.2 The Legionnaires started abusing Jews (through beatings, abusive arrests, torture, massive lay-offs from the civil service, economic boycotting of Jewish businesses, and vandalism of synagogues) immediately after they entered the government.3 The Jewish community was worried by the rapid fascization of much of Romanian society. This process was visible in public statements made by intellectuals as well as antisemitic outbursts in the ranks of labor unions and professional associations with which Jews were affiliated. The Instruments of Legionary Terror When the Iron Guard came to power, the organizational infrastructure for carrying out its plans was already in place. Its most dangerous instrument was the “Legionary Police,” an organization modeled on the Nazi paramilitary units. Formally established on September 6, 1940, to defend the new regime and oppress its adversaries, its leaders saw it as a Romanian version of the German SA.

    RECOGNIZING THE ROMA: A STUDY OF THE HOLOCAUST AS VIEWED IN ROMANIA by Michelle L. Kelso A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Renee Anspach, Co-Chair Professor Michael D. Kennedy, Brown University, Co-Chair Professor Jeffrey E. Mirel Associate Professor Fatma Muge Gocek Associate Professor Geneviève Zubrzycki © Michelle L. Kelso 2010 Dedication In memory of my grandmother Irene Earnest To my daughter Calia Alexe My two loving and lovely women of May. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my love and gratitude to my family, Alexandru S. Alexe and Calia Alexe, for their enduring support of my academic adventures. They have been loving, kind, patient, and in the case of my six-year-old daughter, provided me with much needed comic relief and a brilliant life perspective. Next I need add in the entire Alexe-Enescu clan, as they have been nothing short of wonderful for all these years. The Kelso-Baldus family as well for their support, especially my aunt Mary Baldus. There are a multitude of others to thank, as it really does ‘take a village’ so to speak, to get a dissertation done. My deepest thanks to Marioara Trancă and her family who “adopted” me, guiding me through Romani communities, and without whom this work would never have been possible. Robert and Olimpia Trancă and their wonderful children for all their assistance. All the Romani survivors who took time to speak with me, to teach me, and to place their trust in me.
