Summary/Abstract: After the Soviet aggression of Poland in September 1939, many former Polish citizens seek refuge in Romania. Among them there were people belonging to all social strata and ethnic origins: Polish, Ukrainians, Jews. The Romanian population saw the moment of the deportation as a prelude to the Soviet conquest of Northern Bukovina and Bessarabia. They were also frightened by the news brought by the refugees concerning the bad treatment applied by the Soviet authorities on churches, priests, property, social and national dissatisfaction.
