War Crime trials
Were there any trials under the auspices of the Allied Control Commission for this pogrom, or any other trial? If so please add details of them to the article and have a look at the article Axis war crimes and see it the Romania entry needs updating. --Philip Baird Shearer 16:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * In Romania, there were several military personnel judged and sentenced for this immediately after the war. Eugen Ivan 22:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any names and the crimes they were found guilty of committing and if so please could you add them to the article? --Philip Baird Shearer 23:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC) I finally found it again -- the best source is on the Yad Vashem site *. BTW, how much am I allowed to quote without violating any copyright laws? Eugen Ivan 04:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Changes to style and removal of inflamatory statement
There have been some changes made recently mainly centered around removing the over usage of the word "Romanian" which used in this in artical to an abisive amount: "romanian goverment" "romanian soldiars" "romanian workers" all it mised was saying the victims were "romanian jews."

The second was the removal of an inflamatory statement comparing the Iasi Pogrom with Nazi Holocaust. I see nothing usfull in comparing genocides, especially considering the statement was made intially without any source, then changed at a later date to its last more infalmarory form.

 * your edits are whitewashing romanian deeds in the holocaust, this is part of holocaust denying. I also do not understand why did you remove the part that stated that it was one of the worst pogroms during ww2 since it's sourced, deletion of sourced text again will be reported to who is in competence. Vladdy Daddy Silly (talk) 16:57, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Having compared the edits, both seem like alternate ways of describing the same events, but I wonder what the purpose is in removing the word Romanian so extensively. Perhaps this article should be improved with more scholarly sources and follow their lead in how things are described. I note that currently some of the citations are from news articles and so on, which have their place, but not necessarily as arbiters of how to describe contested history.

 * Oh, I think I deleted the part with worst which... uh are we really comparing genocides, Genocide Olympics sounds greath
 * But really the word "romanian" is over used in this article, just count how many time is it used?30 times in small articlel Why is that, what does it have to be so overused, what does it ad? DiGrande (talk) 13:54, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * replying to your sentece: >Oh, I think I deleted the part with worst which... uh are we really comparing genocides, Genocide Olympics sounds greath
 * The pogrom happened and the deeds of the Romanian government can't be denied. Vladdy Daddy Silly (talk) 15:27, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * He says Romanians are simply mentioned too often, but in the edit summaries he nitpicks whether it was Romanians doing the acts. The purpose of Wikipedia is not to defend the honour of any one country or ethnic group it's just to describe facts, and holocaust revisionism should be avoided. Dan Carkner (talk) 16:38, 24 June 2022 (UTC)


 * The Iron Guard Unelected Goverment. Using Romanian a 1000 times only asociates curent day Romania with an Unelected Goverment from 1940. I suggest you to check the pages on the German Holocaust and see if it says the German Goverment or Nazis? I suggest changing every mention of Nazis to the German Govermant to stop this clear whitewhashing :D DiGrande (talk) 07:31, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Malaparte wasn't there
According to Dan Hofstadter's Afterword in the 2005 NYRB edition of 'Kaputt' Malaparte's highly stylised and partly fictionalised historical account/chronicle/reportage of WWII),"Malaparte did not witness the Iasi pogrom". 86.16.88.22 (talk) 22:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Death train to Călăraşi: Inotești? Where is that?
If wikilinked, it redirects to Colceag, a commune in Prahova County, which includes a village called Inotești. However, although the Death train did make it all the way south to Călăraşi, all the other 3 places mentioned in the same sentence are but a very short distance W or SW from Iaşi. My guess is that there is another Inotești west of Iaşi. Also, I don't know what route the train took, but Prahova County would be quite a stretch. Can't even figure out if there's a railroad station there. Pls, once clarified, remove or replace link. Thanks, Arminden (talk) 17:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's on a railway line, see here: photo of Inotești railway station. All the other questions still remain. Arminden (talk) 17:52, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Crimes against humanity category removal
Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
