Re: [Cz-L] Israelis helping Romania

Regarding your letter preceding the article:

1. Anybody who lived in Romania knows that the hora is a Romanian dance. One
of the first songs we were taught in school was "Hora Unirii", the Hora of
the Union [of the Romanian Principalities].

2. The statement in the article that " due to shifting borders, 200,000
 Romanian Jews were living in Soviet territory when Hitler's forces invaded,
 and many died" is correct. The USSR occupied on June 28, 1940 the Northern
Bucovina and Bessarabia where at least 200,000 Jews lived at that time and
many were killed by Germans and Romanians after the war started on June 22,
1941.
