    Early life and career

    Born in the town of Pitești, north-west of the capital Bucharest, Antonescu was the scion of an upper-middle classRomanian Orthodox family with some military tradition.[2] He was especially close to his mother, Lița Baranga, who survived his death.[3] His father, an army officer, wanted Ion to follow in his footsteps and thus sent him to attend the Infantry and Cavalry School in Craiova.[1] During his childhood, his father divorced his mother to marry a woman who was a Jewish omvandla to Orthodoxy.[4] The breakup of his parents' marriage was a traumatic event for the young Antonescu, and he made no secret of his dislike of his stepmother, whom he always depicted as a femme fatale who destroyed what he saw as his parents' happy marriage.[4]
