HOLOCAUST STUDIES | EASTERN EUROPEAN HISTORY “A valuable addition to the literature in English on the Holocaust in Romania.” —DENNIS DELETANT, Visiting Ion Raţiu Professor of Romanian Studies at Georgetown University “A meticulous study of one of the most gruesome attacks on Jews just days after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Eaton focuses on the Iaşi Pogrom and the ‘death trains’ that killed thousands of Jews in June and July 1941. He contextualizes these tragic events by providing substantial background on the history of Romania’s Jews, the city of Iaşi, the history of Romanian antiSemitism , and Romanian-German relations. This is an accessible and lively account that will do well in the classroom.” —IRINA LIVEZEANU, author of The Politics of Culture in Greater Romania: Regionalism, Nation Building, and Ethnic Cleansing, 1918–1930 and president of the Society for Romanian Studies HENRY EATON is associate professor of history (retired) at the University of North Texas.
