Iași (Jassy), former capital of Moldavia, was one of the great centers of Jewish life in Romania, rich in synagogues, houses of study, and cultural institutions. The city is associated with the beginnings of professional Yiddish theater, founded by Abraham Goldfaden in the nineteenth century, and hosted an intense Jewish religious and political life. In 1941, Iași was the scene of an extremely violent pogrom, one of the deadliest of the Shoah in Romania, which claimed very many victims. After the Second World War, the deeply stricken community almost entirely left the city, mostly for Israel.
