- ^ A number of authors on the far-right claimed that he was a Jew named Burach Tescovici (or a similar name), but he was baptised into the Romanian Orthodox Church. His Securitate file however makes no assertion that he was Jewish. In a general atmosphere of hostility toward "rootless cosmopolites", the files of other Jews who had changed their names did mention their ethnic origin. His second wife, the former seamstress Eugenia Samoilă, was Jewish. See Levy, p. 340 for details.
