Description
Summary:One of the peculiarities of Romania’s autonomous Holocaust is the sharp divergence between the territories acquired after World War I and the so-called Old Kingdom (Wallachia and Moldavia). In the new territories of Bukovina and Bessarabia, Romanian forces decimated Jewish populations through mass shootings and deportations to camps in occupied Ukraine, where most died. Jews residing in the Old Kingdom, on the other hand, suffered a number of indignities and some violence, but as a community survived the war. The former have been well studied; the latter—those not subjected to genocidal violence and deportation—are the focus for Stefan Ionescu’s study of Bucharest’s Jewish community.
