Eichmann Seen Supreme Authority In Romania
In court, Adolf Eichmann was described as the supreme authority over Jews in Romania during World War II, with power surpassing the Antonescu government. Prosecution papers show Eichmann directly directed the pogrom, bypassed the Foreign Ministry, and delegated to Maj. Gustav Richter who recalled scolding the puppet regime over a money restitution case. July 26, 1942, marked a peak in Romanian persecutions with deportations to Auschwitz and killings by Einsatzkommando squads. An eyewitness widow testified of mass executions and ghettos, noting her rabbi husband and family among the victims.
