King Michael’s coup removed Ion Antonescu from power, ending the Romanian regime’s persecution of Roma. More than 25,000 Roma had been deported to Transnistria, where many died from hunger, disease, cold, and abuse. The political change halted the deportation policy, but survivors returned to dispossession and a difficult struggle to rebuild their lives.
