Was very interested to see this as my maternal grandmother was born in Iasi in 1881 and left with her husband for England in 1900. She never returned and died in 1952 when I was 13.
My maternal grandmother was also born in Iasi where her father, my great grandfather, Wolf was a miller. She left for New York with two of her sisters to escape the pogrom and never returned.
Both my grandparents were born in Iasi in the 1880s. My grandfather emigrated to Cuba then Key West in 1899; he met my grandmother there. There is an online ebook on Google books called Roumania and the Jews which is only about 85 pages, and was written by a Roumanian anti-semite in 1904. It is painfully enlightening in regard to all the reasons the Roumanians wanted to get rid of the Jews. Unfortunately, the Jews themselves may have contributed to the antisemitism, but it is difficult to know the truth of the matter by reading this one perspective. Nevertheless it made real to me, for the first time, just what it must have been like trying to survive as a Jew in Romania in the 1880s and 1890s.
