In 2021 we commemorate 80 years since the Pogrom of Bucharest â€“ a Romanian Kristallnacht â€“ which took place between January 21-23, 1941, a tragic event that marked one of the darkest chapters in the history of the Holocaust in Romania. During those tragic days, the fascist Iron Guard massacred 123 Jews, destroyed synagogues and devastated over 1000 Jewish properties.

Join the online event organized by the Embassy of Romania to the State of Israel in partnership with Israel Museum and the Romanian Cultural Institute Tel Aviv â€ž80 years since the Pogrom of Bucharest. Commemoration through the work of Marcel Janco (Iancu)â€. One of the leading Romanian Jewish intellectuals of his generation, Marcel Janco (1895 â€“ 1984) witnessed the Pogrom of Bucharest and expressed the trauma he lived in ghastly drawings.

The event aims to commemorate the historical events of the Pogrom of Bucharest from the perspective of the artwork of Israeli artist of Romanian origin Marcel Janco (Iancu).

The event includes welcoming remarks by Prof. Ido Bruno, Director of Israel Musuem, presentations of the historical events of the Pogrom of Bucharest by H.E. Ambassador Radu Ioanid, personal recollections on how this tragedy impacted the life of Marcel Janco by a family member (Mrs. Michaela Mende-Janco), as well as lectures about the role of Marcel Janco in Israeli art by Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn, Senior curator for Israeli art, Israel Museum and about Marcel Janco as a Jewish and Zionist artist by Dr. Vlad Solomon, freelance journalist, researcher and writer.
