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 Iași pogrom.[2][3][4] It is the first such grave found in Romania since the 1945 discovery of 311 bodies at Stânca-Roznovanu, also in the vicinity of Iași.[5][6]
An official report concluded that the grave contained 36 victims, and that those responsible for the killing had already been sentenced in 1948.[7]
