Summary/Abstract: This material presents and analyzes the anti-Semitic incident in Piatra Neamt in the autumn of 1925. The interwar period was for Jews the period of emancipation, recognition of civil and political rights. But the period was not without the anti-Semitic tendencies propagated by both the L.A.N.C. as well as the Legionary Movement. On June 28, 1928, the sentence was given in the trial of the Jews who beat the Romanian high school students, in 1925. The press did not remain indifferent to these incidents, local and national newspapers reported the events. Some local personalities also reacted to these incidents. However, anti-Semitic agitations remained present in Piatra Neamț throughout the interwar period, as well as throughout the country.
