The Ransom of the Jews: The Story of the Extraordinary Secret Bargain Between Romania and Israel. Выкуп евреев: история неординарной секретной сделки между Румынией и Израилем. Раду Иоанид (Radu Ioanid) ; Ivan R. Dee Publisher

After 1948, the 370,000 surviving Holocaust Jews of Romania became one of the main sources of immigration for the new state of Israel. With the exception of a period in the early 1950s, almost all Romanian Jews left their homeland in several waves to settle in Palestine and Israel. Behind Romania's decision to allow its Jews to leave were practical economic and political reasons: Israel paid for them, and Romania wanted influence in the Middle East. The trade satisfied both states and is still considered a highly confidential matter.
