Romania gives green light for Holocaust museum

Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis

gave the green light on Tuesday for the creation of the country’s first national Holocaust museum in Bucharest,

more than seven decades after the end of World War Two.

380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews

were killed in Romania and areas it controlled during the war, as an ally of Nazi Germany.

The new museum,

coordinated by the Elie Wiesel Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania,

aims to promote the history, culture and traditions of Jews in the country and highlight their contribution to modernising Romanian society.
