How many Romanians died due to the Holocaust?

The estimated number of Romanians who died as a result of the Holocaust is commonly cited around 350,000. This figure reflects the tragic loss of Jewish lives during World War II in Romania and the territories under its control. The Holocaust in Romania was marked by violence, persecution, and mass killings, particularly during the early years of the Nazi occupation and collaboration with Axis powers.

The number considers various factors, including those who were murdered in concentration camps, those who perished during deportations, and those who died as a consequence of forced labor or in ghettos. The complexity of the Holocaust's impact in Romania, including the specific role played by the Romanian government in the persecution of Jews, adds to the historical significance of this number. Understanding the scale of the tragedy is essential in acknowledging and remembering the victims of the Holocaust as part of a broader narrative of human rights and history.
