The president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, conducted an official visit to Romania at the invitation of Romanian president Nicușor Dan. During the visit, he marked 85 years since the Iași pogrom and held talks with his Romanian counterpart.
During the trip to Romania, the official also visited Iași, where one of the most horrific pogroms took place. A pogrom is a loosely organized mob attack oriented against a specific community. Unfortunately, numerous such pogroms took place across Europe, including in Romania, throughout history. The Second World War saw the most violent episodes, as states actively took part in pogroms.
