MY LIFELONG JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND
“Every man is a Moses; He wants to see the Promised Land in his own lifetime.” ...a poster that the author hung in his office at all the places he worked over the past forty-five years. Like many others, George Mozes had a long and strenuous journey on the road to his Promised Land. Watch him as a child and young adult in communist Romania, being labeled as an undesirable with an unhealthy origin, and castigated for being born into a bourgeois (middle class) family. Heed his struggles to overcome the roadblocks set up by communists and anti-Semites. Root for him as he plans and carries out a daring escape to Vienna, Austria. Applaud him as he prospers, makes his mark in America, and reaches his Promised Land at eighty-one years old. Most importantly, take advantage of the many lessons learned that George has shared in this book. It is the author's fervent hope that readers will use some of these lessons to reach their own Promised Land.
Modern Romania
Since the 1989 fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, Romania, arguably the most regimented of states in the Soviet bloc, has struggled with the transition from totalitarian state to democratic nation. In this insightful examination of modern Romania, Tom Gallagher provides an overview of Romania’s unique political and social history, focusing on both its national identity as well as the legacy of Soviet rule. Gallagher provides an in-depth look at Romania since 1989, focusing on the government’s attempts at economic reform, engagement with democracy, problems with corruption among the ruling elite, as well as the weakness of civil society and the resilience of implacable expressions of nationalism. Ultimately, Gallagher argues that thus far democracy has essentially failed in Romania. In fact, he warns that Romania is on its way to becoming one of the most unequal states in Europe and quite possibly a future trouble-spot unless efforts to resume much-needed reforms are undertaken.

Release Date: 2005
The International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania was established in October 2003 on the initiative of Ion Iliescu, the President of Romania; this final report was presented to him in November 2004. The aim of the Commission was to research the facts and determine the truth about the Holocaust in Romania during World War II. The report examines various aspects of the state-organized participation of Romania in the mass murder of Jews in Romania and in Romanian-controlled territories, as well as in northern Transylvania where the genocide was perpetrated by the Nazis and their Hungarian allies. Inter alia, it discusses antisemitism and the evolution of Romanian anti-Jewish policies from the late 1930s to 1944, the impact of the Soviet annexation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina on antisemitism in Romania, anti-Jewish incidents in 1940 and the pogroms in Bucharest and Iaşi, mass murders of Jews in the recaptured provinces and deportation to Transnistria in 1941, mass murder of Jews in Odessa and in Transnistrian camps, the "Romanianization" of the economy and the expropriation of Romanian Jews, the reaction of the Jewish community in Romania to anti-Jewish policies, and the personal responsibility of Ion Antonescu for the genocide. Relates, also, to war crimes trials held in Romania, and to the trivialization of the Holocaust and its "selective" and outright denial in postwar Romania.
