What does Paul Georgescu and Ion Antonescu have in common? 
was a Romanian
Ion Antonescu
Ion Victor Antonescu (] ; June 15, 1882 – June 1, 1946) was a Romanian soldier and authoritarian politician who, as the Prime Minister and "Conducător" during most of World War II, presided over two successive wartime dictatorships.
 After the war, he was convicted of war crimes and executed.
Paul Georgescu
Paul Georgescu (] ; November 7, 1923 – October 15, 1989) was a Romanian literary critic, journalist, fiction writer and communist political figure.
 Remembered as both a main participant in the imposition of Socialist Realism in its Romanian form and a patron of dissenting modernist and postmodern literature, he began his career in politics during World War II, when he sided with the anti-fascist groups and the underground Romanian Communist Party in opposition to the Axis-aligned Ion Antonescu regime.
 During the first twenty years of Communist Romania, Georgescu assisted Leonte Răutu in exercising Stalinist control over local literature, but also published young nonconformist authors, beginning with Nichita Stănescu and Matei Călinescu, in his "Gazeta Literară".
 Sidelined over his own incompatibility with the Socialist Realist dogma, and returning to public life during the 1960s liberalization enforced by Nicolae Ceauşescu, he became openly adverse to Ceauşescu's variety of national communism and clandestinely cultivated the prohibited ideology of Trotskyism.
King Michael's Coup
King Michael's Coup was a "coup d'état" led by King Michael I of Romania during World War II on 23 August 1944.
 The king removed the government of Ion Antonescu, which had aligned Romania with Nazi Germany, after the Axis front in northeastern Romania collapsed in the face of a successful Soviet offensive. Maria Antonescu
Maria Antonescu (born Maria Niculescu, also known as Maria General Antonescu, later Maria Mareșal Antonescu, or Rica Antonescu; November 3, 1892 – October 18, 1964) was a Romanian socialite and philanthropist, the wife of World War II authoritarian Prime Minister and "Conducător" Ion Antonescu.
 A long-time resident of France, she was twice married before her wedding to Antonescu, and became especially known for her leadership of charitable organization grouped in the Social Works Patronage Council organization, having Veturia Goga for her main collaborator.
 The Council profited significantly from antisemitic policies targeting Romanian Jews, and especially from the deportation of Bessarabian Jews into Transnistria, taking over several hundred million lei resulting from arbitrary confiscations and extortion. Wiesel Commission
The Wiesel Commission is the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania, which was established by former President Ion Iliescu in October 2003 to research and create a report on the actual history of the Holocaust in Romania and make specific recommendations for educating the public on the issue.
 The Commission, which was led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel as well as Jean Ancel, released its report in late 2004.
 The Romanian government recognized the report's findings and acknowledged the deliberate participation in the Holocaust by the World War II Romanian regime led by Ion Antonescu.
 The report assessed that between 280,000 and 380,000 Jews were murdered or died under the supervision and as a result of the deliberate policies of Romanian civilian and military authorities.
 Over 11,000 Romani were also killed.
 The Wiesel Commission report also documented pervasive antisemitism and violence against Jews in Romania before World War II, when Romania's Jewish population was among the largest in Europe. Romanian policy referendum, March 1941
A referendum on the policies of Ion Antonescu was held in Romania on 5 March 1941.
 Under pressure from Nazi Germany, King Carol II had appointed Antonescu as Conducător on 6 September 1940.
 Voting was done orally, with voters answering yes or no.
 Silence was taken to be a "yes".
 The referendum was approved by 99.9% of voters.
 A second referendum on Antonescu's policies was held in November. Iași pogrom
The Iași pogrom or Jassy pogrom (pronounced:"Yash") of 29 June 1941 was a series of pogroms launched by governmental forces under Ion Antonescu in the Romanian city of Iaşi (Jassy) against its Jewish population, resulting in the murder of at least 13,266 Jews, according to Romanian authorities. Radu Lecca
Radu D. Lecca (February 15, 1890–1980) was a Romanian spy, journalist, civil servant and convicted war criminal.
 A World War I veteran who served a prison term for espionage in France during the early 1930s, he was a noted supporter of antisemitic concepts and, after 1933, an agent of influence for Nazi Germany.
 While becoming a double agent for Romania's Special Intelligence Service (SSI), Lecca was involved in fascist politics, gained in importance during World War II and the successive dictatorships, and eventually grew close to "Conducător" Ion Antonescu. Socialist Peasants' Party
The Socialist Peasants' Party (Romanian: "Partidul Socialist Țărănesc", or "Partidul Socialist Țărănist", PSȚ) was a short-lived political party in Romania, presided over by the academic Mihai Ralea.
 Created nominally in 1938 but dissolved soon after, it reemerged during World War II.
 A clandestine group, it opposed the fascist regime of Ion Antonescu, although its own roots were planted in authoritarian politics.
 Looking to the Soviet Union for inspiration, the PSȚ was cultivated by the Romanian Communist Party (PCdR), and comprised a faction of radicalized social democrats, under Lothar Rădăceanu. Romanian policy referendum, November 1941
A referendum on the policies of Ion Antonescu was held in Romania on 9 November 1941.
 The referendum, the second that year on Antonescu's policies, were held after the extension of working hours on 2 October had been met with riots.
 The vote was carried out orally, with a silence taken as a "yes" vote, and was approved with 99.99% in favour.
