Mass grave

In November 2010, a mass grave dating from 1941 was discovered in the nearby forest of Vulturi. It is believed to contain the remains of up to a hundred Jewish men, women and children murdered by Romanian authorities contemporaneously with the nearby Iaşi pogrom.[2][3][4] It is the first such grave found in Romania since the 1945 discovery of 311 bodies at Stanca Roznovanu, also in the vicinity of Iaşi.[5][6]
