Dozens of Roma and Jews from Romania on Tuesday commemorated the start of the Holocaust 70 years ago, laying red carnation in memory of the thousands of victims of the pro-nazi Romania regime."The Holocaust triggered unprecedented cruelty not only against Jews but also against Roma and other minorities", the American ambassador to Romania Mark Gitenstein reminded the audience.Between 280,000 and 380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews died during the Holocaust in Romania and the territory under its control, according to an international commission of historians headed by the Nobel Prize for Peace, Elie Wiesel, himself a Romanian-born Jew. "About 25,000 Roma were also victims of cruel persecutions", the director of the Holocaust museum in Washington Radu Ioanid said during the ceremony. AFP PHOTO DANIEL MIHAILESCU
