From Times Wire Reports
Reversing earlier denials, Romania’s government acknowledged that the nation’s former leaders deported and exterminated Jews during World War II.
A denial last week outraged Romania’s Jewish community and sparked a warning from Israel that ties between the two nations would be strained.
That denial came after Romania signed an agreement allowing the Washington-based Holocaust Memorial Museum to study Romanian archives about the Holocaust. Romania was home to 760,000 Jews before World War II. More than half were killed during the war.
