The
Legionnaires' rebellion and the Bucharest pogrom occurred in
Bucharest,
Romania, between 21 and 23 January 1941. As the privileges of the paramilitary organisation
Iron Guard were being cut off gradually by the
Conducator Ion Antonescu, members of the Iron Guard, also known as the Legionnaires, revolted. During the rebellion and pogrom, the Iron Guard killed 125 Jews and 30 soldiers died in the confrontation with the rebels. Following it, the Iron Guard movement was banned and 9,000 of its members were imprisoned.
