The Ip massacre took place in the early hours of 14 September 1940, in Ip, Sălaj, a village in Northern Transylvania when the Hungarian Army, apparently supported by a local vigilante group, killed 158 Romanian civilians.
In 1990, a monument was erected in Ip to remember the victims, and the Romanian Armed Forces produced a film for the Romanian Television.
