More people should visit Yad Vashem, says Romanian foreign minister

Teodor Melescanu called President Reuven Rivlin immediately after visiting Yad Vashem.

If more people visited Yad Vashem, negative attitudes toward Jews and Israel might change. This was the view expressed on Monday by Romanian Foreign Minister Teodor Melescanu when he and his delegation called President Reuven Rivlin immediately after visiting Yad Vashem.

Melescanu cited Auschwitz survivor, author and Nobel Prize laureate Eli Wiesel who said negating the Holocaust is not only dangerous but offensive to the survivors.

There is a tendency in the world towards xenophobia, racism and antisemitism said Melescan, who warned that such bias could evolve into a tragedy similar to that of World War II unless quickly curtailed.

This why Romania promotes the combating of antisemitism, he said.

Bucharest in top three cities with most anti-Semitic posts on social media

Bucharest ranked third in a top of cities where most anti-Semitic messages are posted on Facebook and Twitter, according to data from Israel’s Diaspora Ministry, cited by The Times of Israel.

The ministry unveiled last week the Anti-Semitism Cyber ​​Monitoring System (ACSM), a new software that tracks anti-Semitic posts on social media. It can detect how widely these posts have been shared, who is sharing them, and which cities and countries produce the most anti-Semitic content.

Training of Romanian Prosecutors on the Fight against Homophobia and Transphobia in the context of execution of ECtHR judgment in the case M.C. and A.C. v. Romania

10/11/2021

On 8 and 9 November 2021, Council of Europe units (the Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals Programme, the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Unit and the Department for the Execution of Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights) in partnership with the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice of Romania organised an online seminar to launch the HELP course “Fight against Racism, Xenophobia, Homophobia and Transphobia” for a group of 17 Romanian prosecutors from different Prosecutor’s offices.

The implementation of this course aims in particular to support the execution of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights delivered in the case M.C. and A.C. v. Romania, concerning the failure of the Romanian authorities to take into account possible discriminatory motives in the investigation of a homophobic attack.

Romania Makes Holocaust Education Mandatory in All High Schools

17/11/2021

BUCHAREST, Romania — The Romanian Senate has adopted a law that makes it mandatory for all high schools and vocational schools in the country to teach a specific subject on the history of the Holocaust and the Jewish people.

The law that passed on Monday stipulates that the course will be taught starting in 2023. Its contents will be decided by the country’s education ministry in collaboration with the Elie Wiesel Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania.

In the words of Jewish lawmaker Silviu Vexler, who championed the law, the initiative aims at “countering intolerance and extremism” among youth.

The center-right National Liberal Party and the Social Democrats voted in favor of the law, together with the centrist alliance USR PLUS and the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania.

The law, which was previously passed by Romania’s lower chamber, was supported by 107 senators, while 13 legislators voted against it and one abstained.

It was opposed by the populist right-wing Alliance for the Union of the Romanians, or AUR, a nationalist party that received 9% of the vote in its debut in a general election last December and is now the fourth largest party in the country’s legislature.

AUR lawmaker Claudiu Tarziu deemed the law unnecessary as he claimed Romania hasn’t seen a single “serious antisemitic case” in the past 20 years. Tarziu said the law was “in contradiction” with Romanian and European Union laws as well as with “common sense,” as it discriminates against “our fellow citizens who belong to other minorities.”

According to official statistics included in a report by the Elie Wiesel Institute, a total of 27 antisemitic incidents were reported to authorities in 2020. A number of Jewish cemeteries have been vandalized in recent years.

Romanian Jewish actress Maia Morgenstern — who made international headlines for her role as the Virgin Mary in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of Christ” — last March received death threats by an individual who said he would “throw her into a gas chamber.” Antisemitic messages are also rife in nationalist fringe press both online and in print, and historical interpretations of the Holocaust that downplay the role of Romania have been touted by local historians and university professors.

According to the Elie Wiesel Institute, between 280,000 and 380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews were murdered in territories under Romanian administration during World War II.

Israeli Ambassador slams Romanian party calling the Holocaust 'minor'

A Romanian nationalist said that Holocaust education is part of a "systematic action to undermine the quality of education in Romania."

Jan 4, 2022

Israeli Ambassador to Romania David Saranga slammed remarks by a Romanian nationalist party calling for less Holocaust education.

The AUR Party said the Holocaust is a “minor topic,” and teaching it as a separate subject in schools is an “ideological experiment” and part of a “systematic action to undermine the quality of education in Romania.”

Saranga condemned AUR’s statement, calling them “insulting.”

Romania is ready to host increased NATO troops if needed, president says


Reuters
January 26, 2022

BUCHAREST, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Romania is in talks with the United States and France over ways to enhance their troop count in the country and was ready to host an increased NATO military presence, President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday.

The U.S. Department of Defense said on Monday it put about 8,500 American troops on heightened alert, awaiting orders to deploy to NATO's eastern flank should Russia invade Ukraine. France has also offered to send more troops if needed.

"I have been constantly saying we are ready to host an increased allied presence on our territory," Iohannis said.

"Following the announcements made by the United States and France we are in contact with the two allies to establish concrete ways to realise their military presence."

Liviu Beris, Romanian Holocaust survivor who became a genetics pioneer and debated a famous antisemite on TV, dies at 93


BY MARCEL GASCÓN BARBERÁ JANUARY 28, 2022 5:46 PM



BUCHAREST (JTA) — Liviu Beris, who survived the Holocaust in Transnistria to become an internationally recognized geneticist, died last week at 93 in Romania, where he tirelessly shared his personal story with younger generations and famously debated an antisemite on live TV.

Born in Herta, then a part of Romania and now a part of Ukraine, Beris was deported at the age of 13 with his family to the region of Transnistria, a strip of land in Soviet Ukraine under the administration of the Nazi-allied Romanian regime. According to official figures, between 220,000 and 300,000 Soviet and Romanian Jews were shot dead or died of typhus, starvation and extreme weather conditions in improvised camps and ghettos there run by Romanian officials.

Romanian political figure praises antisemitic fascist leader on primetime TV


BY MARCEL GASCÓN BARBERÁ FEBRUARY 3, 2022 4:25 PM

BUCHAREST, Romania (JTA) — A Romanian political hopeful who could become honorary president of the country’s fourth-largest political party praised an antisemitic 1930s fascist leader during a primetime TV interview on Monday night, drawing sharp condemnation from Jewish and other groups.

Speaking on Antena 3 news channel, Calin Georgescu, a sustainability expert formerly affiliated with the United Nations, said Corneliu Zelea Codreanu “fought for the morality of the human being.” An interviewer had asked Georgescu why he put Codreanu on a list of national “heroes” in a 2020 Facebook video which garnered over 700,000 views.

Codreanu led the fiercely antisemitic Legionnaire Movement until his execution in 1938. The group espoused an extreme version of ethnic and religious nationalism that involved political murders and acts of terrorism.

Roma actress smashes stigma in one-woman-show at the Bucharest National Theatre





By Theo Farrant & AFP • Updated: 03/02/2022

Actor and playwright Alina Serban has become the first Roma woman to direct a play on Romania's national stage at the Bucharest National Theatre.

Her autobiographical performance, 'The Best Child in the World', tells the story of a young Roma girl struggling with self-identity and racism.

"This is the first time that a Roma story, written, staged and performed by a Roma artist, has been welcomed by a Romanian national scene," she says.

She hopes her play – which has been sold out since 21 January – will help others in her community feel represented and heard.

German Eurofighters reach Romania for NATO missions amid Ukraine crisis


Reuters
February 17, 2022

BUCHAREST, Feb 17 (Reuters) - German Air Force Eurofighters arrived at a military air base in eastern Romania on Thursday as part of a deployment to NATO's eastern flanks amid a Russian military build-up on Ukraine's border, the defence ministry said.

The three Eurofighters and roughly 60 soldiers will join Italian and Romanian forces for enhanced air policing missions over the next three weeks. German air forces ran similar missions alongside British air forces in Romania in 2021.
(...)
Earlier this week NATO told its military commanders to draw up plans for new battlegroups in central and southeastern Europe, as it accused Russia of sending more troops to areas near Ukraine instead of withdrawing its forces.
