For those who speak Romanian, this should be quite interesting. In short, a British historian who served on the commission ivestigating the Holocaust in Romania nominates Şorban as an impostor with fascist connections, who became a Securitate agent and managed to trick Israeli authorities into believing that he had actually done something for the rescue of Jews, who did not have academic credentials to save his life, and who used his position to propel far right discourse into the mainstream, including the revisionist diversion according to which Romania's Nazi-allied regime "saved Jews". Also discussed in passing are his anti-Hungarian discourse, his association with pseudo-historians such as Ilie Ceauşescu (the brother of that Ceauşescu) and the old-time fascist Iosif Constantin Drăgan. I'll add from it later. Dahn (talk) 13:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
