Re: [Cz-L] Gheorghe Alexianu - The Governor of Transnistria

If you read the article by Alexander Dallin about Gheorghe Alexianu,
you will learn how ordinary Romanians, even well educated and well
meaning,
mostly did nothing to fight the Anti-Semitic measures of Antonescu,
actually took advantage of them in order to enrich themselves.
Greed was probably a greater motive than hate.
