In Romania, the
people s courts
were first established in 1945 under Law
no. 312 and their
aim was to indict and punish
those responsible for the disastrous state of the country and war
crimes. Indeed, they carried out acts of justice in that many war
criminals were put on trial and convicted.
Two
such courts existed in Romania:
one in the capital Bucharest and another in Cluj, for the crimes
committed by Horthy s regime in Northern Transylvania. Some 2,700
people accused of war crimes were investigated, of whom 668 received
various convictions. The People s Court in Bucharest sentenced 187
people, while that in Cluj convicted 481. The most famous case tried
by the Bucharest People s Court was that of Ion Antonescu, who led
the Romanian state between 1940 and 1944, alongside Mihai Antonescu,
Piky Vasiliu and Gheorghe Alexianu, all of whom were sentenced to
death on 17th
May 1946 and executed. 19 other defendants were convicted to
death in absentia, while
After a couple of months, on
February 10th 1947, to be precise, a series of peace treaties with
the former allies of the Nazi Germany like Romania, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria
and Finland was signed. Each of these defeated countries tried to improve their
difficult situation as they possibly could at that time. However, all of them,
apart from Bulgaria, have lost territories and had to make compensation
payments after the war.
At the peace
conference, Romania was represented by a government controlled by the communist
party imposed by the Soviet occupation. The Romanian lobbyists and the team who
worked on the official stand tried to bring strong arguments in support of
Romania s case. Gheorghe Apostol had a leading position in the Romanian
Communist Party and in a 1995 interview to Radio Romania said that the biggest
fight to represent Romania s interests at that time wasn t put up by the
communists in the government.

For Gheorghiu, merely academic research for the book was not adequate. He wanted to experience the difficult environment himself, in which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) lived and preached his message back in the 7th century.
