I don't know anything about ceauscae, but I got the impression from a Seinfeld joke (obviously a terrible source) that he oppressed Jewish people? I don't really know; I only really know his name and basically nothing else about him.
That sounds very made up. I've never heard anything of the sort from any Romanian i've talked to, even the extremely anti-communist ones who will act like communism was the worst thing that ever happened and who repeat all sorts of made up bullshit about communist leaders.
My experience is that the most racist and anti-semitic Romanians are actually the most anti-communist ones.
The fact is that immediately after they couped Ceausescu they started to opress minorities and it was so bad that iirc most of Romani fled in barely two years.
Given Jerry Seinfeld's political proclivities, I am suspicious about what his metric for oppressing Jewish people is. Maybe he did, maybe he just wasn't a zionist, idk

SRR was the only eastern bloc country to recognize Israel, which is the cherry on top
