English: Official notice, posted by A. Hanciu, the Mayor Paşcani, Romania. Issued shortly after Romania entered the war against the Soviet Union, it announces an antisemitic curfew and warns that Jewish hostages would be shot in the event of behind-the-lines "sabotage" or "terrorism", including acts attributable to non-Jews.
The text makes reference to "communist" agitation, and, unusually, to "communist Legionaries". The epithet is apparently oxymoronic: "Legionaries" were the Iron Guard, a fascist and antisemitic movement which had rebelled against the traditionalist far right, and was therefore repressed by the Ion Antonescu government. The poster possibly references a conspiracy theory, according to which some Legionaries were pro-Soviet, differentiating between them and the loyalist ("Codrenist") wing of the Iron Guard.
Here, Hanciu cites specific orders from the fascist hierarchy: Ion Antonescu and Interior Minister Mihai Antonescu.
The text reads:
''Pe baza ordinului Domnului GENERAL ANTONESCU Conducătorul Statului şi al Onor. Ministerului de Interne No. 4599/941, Comunicat de Prefectura Jud. Baia No. 434/941 aducem la cunoştinţa generală că nici un evreu femee sau barbat nu are voe să circule pe străzi între orele 18 până la 7 dimineaţa şi nici să se găsească în locuinţele lor alte persoane, în afară de membrii familiei.
