I don't usually talk about the Holocaust in Târgu Mureş, but I've found so many informations about the persecution of jews from Târgu Mureş and Reghin that I just have to share my information.
Most people don't know, because it was an opened subject to talk about.... most know about Poland etc... but what about Romania? Did you know that if it wasn't Romania involved (by force) in WW2, Germany couldn't carry on the war because Romania was supplying Germany with fuel. No, of course many wouldn't know because they don't care...
It didn't affect me personally, but my grand-grandparents and my grandparents from my mother's side suffered a lot because of this.
Reghin was a first target for Nazis. There were the main jewish ghettos.
On the 4th of May 1944, immediately after the Germans entered Transylvania, all the Jews in Reghin were ordered to make their way with their luggage to an assembly point.

And two days ago, after passing near a statue for the last 9 years I didn't knew what it means until I read on it "Remember Holocaust" the first monument in the memory of the Holocaust from Romania. All this time I was searching for such a monument in this country and it was right under my very nose all this time
Primul monument din România ridicat în memoria victimelor Holocaustului, este amplasat la Târgu Mureş. Grupul statuar poartă inscripţia bilingvă - engleză şi ebraică – “Remember Holocaust!”- aduceţi-vă aminte de Holocaust. Sculptorul a reprezentat, în mod simbolic, o familie îmbraţişată, cu privirile îndreptate spre cer, în momentul pornirii pe “drumul fără întoarcere”. Aici se adună în fiecare an, la 9 octombrie, cei câţiva evrei care au supravieţuit Holocaustului şi urmaşii famiilor lor.
I was able to find a picture with a concentration camp from near Targu-Mures, from Acatari:
Keep in mind that this building is now a school.
And a picture with the monument, soon I'm gonna go on that street and take a photo, but until then, look at this:
