For me, that map is more about Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina and Southern Dobruja, territories not currently part of Romania, though I suppose it's also about continuing Romanian sovereignty over Transylvania.

It is true that in autumn 1944, a number of ethnic Hungarians were killed by Romanians. That is true and tragic. Criminal, in fact. It should be better known.

It is also true that the massacre referred to in the video was a reprisal attack. This doesn't justify it, but context is important. Also, hundreds of Romanians were killed in Northern Transylvania in 1940 and 1944, and many properties were destroyed, including churches. Not to mention the thousands of Jews sent to extermination camps by the Hungarian authorities.

So there was blood on both sides, which is equally wrong - but far more on the Hungarian side, which (unlike the Romanian) was systematically carried out through orders from the top. - Biruitorul ^Talk 18:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
