This is possibly Iasi (traditionally Jassy) - the 2nd largest city in
Romania. It once had a very large Jewish population.


See

which has a nice section on the Jewish History.

In looking over some notes I took while speaking to my grandmother
thirty-four years ago, I discovered that she had said her family came

from a place called Yassa in Romania. Does the name sound familiar to

anyone?
