The legal status of the Jews in Romania during World War II
The legal status of the Jews in Romania during World War II

Summary/Abstract: The question of the Jews has been a concern, of not only the historian, since ancient times to the contemporaneity. A black page in the human history, the Holocaust is now meant to highlight an objective presentation of the facts and the political actors who endorsed or maintained such a tragedy. The interwar legislation, the political activity of some personalities at that time, including people of culture, the programs and the historical stages that formed the basis of the anti–Semitic practices are some of the topics approached in the article, meant to reflect, more than half a century later, the particularly serious events that the Jewish population in Romania experienced. The presentation of the historical events related to this sensitive subject, without pretending completeness, aims to assimilate some knowledge related to a global event, which represented a challenge to the most elementary human values.
