Two former local officials of the Bukovina town of Radautzi wore today convicted of charges of having carried out a "personal" pogrom during the summer of 1941 under cover of the national fascist campaign against the Jews.
One defendant, Nicolae Buliga, received the maximum sentence of life imprisonment and loss of civil rights while the second defendant, Vasile Boicu, received a ten-year term and loss of civil rights. The two men rounded up all the Jews they could find in the town and tock them to a nearby field and shot them. They then returned and looted the homes of their victims.
