Eu stiu ca Antonescu a fost declarat nevinovat pentru RAZBOIUL contra URSS 
(cand incerca reintregirea tarii, adica sa obtina inapoi Basarabia si Bucovina, 
rapite de rusi) si NU pentru ceea ce a facut (habar n-am ce o fi facut) 
impotriva evreilor!

Asa ca nu vad prea bine "obiectul" protestului.

Jews in Romania protest pardon of WWII leader
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
Mar. 22, 2007

Two Romanian Jewish organizations on Thursday protested a recent court ruling 
that cleared the country's wartime pro-Nazi leader, Ion Antonescu of charges of 
starting a war against the Soviet Union.

"In those times Ion Antonescu was a faithful ally of Hitler, carried on a war 
which produced great damage to humanity, with the loss of millions and millions 
of lives," the Federation of Jewish Communities and the Romanian Association of 
Jewish Victims of the Holocaust said in a statement.

The Appeals Court in Bucharest said in a ruling last month that Romania's 
attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 was justified as self-defense because the 
neighboring country had occupied parts of Romania a year earlier.

The court said, however, that Antonescu was guilty of other charges from his 
original trial in 1946, including war crimes and deporting hundreds of 
thousands of people to death camps. He was executed that year, along with 
several Cabinet members.

The Jewish groups fear the ruling could hurt recent efforts by Romania to come 
to terms with its role in the Holocaust. It "can generate extremist attitudes 
and actions in our country, with negative effects in the national and 
international political climate," the statement said.

Antonescu was arrested in 1944 by King Michael, and Romania switched sides 
until the end of the war in 1945.

Russia has also protested the ruling.
