Here is a snippet:

"When World War II started, Odessa found itself on the frontlines. Located
in the western Soviet Union, it was one of the first cities attacked by
Hitler's forces when they invaded Stalin's territory in the summer of 1941.
With a population that was then one-third Jewish, Odessa also became a locus
for the Nazi policy of eliminating Europe's Jews. But there was a twist:
Odessa was occupied not by Nazi Germany but by its ally, Romania. Hitler
allowed Romanian forces to enter the city and transform it into the capital
of a new province called Transnistria. A portrait of Ion Antonescu, who
ruled Romania during the war, occupied a prime place in the Odessa chambers
of Transnistria's governor, Gheorghe Alexianu"
