A máramarosi zsidóság helyzetének tükrözése a kolozsvári Új Kelet újságban 1918 és 1938 között
Reflection of the situation of the Jews of Maramureș in the newspaper Új Kelet from Cluj-Napoca between 1918 and 1938

Summary/Abstract: Maramureș is one of the regions of Transylvania that stands out in terms of ethnic diversity, since before and after the Treaty of Trianon, Ukrainian/Ruthenian, German/Zipser, and Jewish communities have lived together alongside the Hungarian minority, enriching the region with their different types of ethnic and religious minority identities. In this inter-ethnic environment, however, the Jews lived in constant tension during the interwar period, as their living conditions were difficult, sometimes impossible, due to anti-Semitic movements. The aim of my research is to analyse the situation of the Jews, as reflected in the newspaper ÚjKelet (New East) of Cluj/Kolozsvár. The Hungarian-language Jewish newspaper was founded in December 1918 at the initiative of the Zionist movement in Transylvania. In the first half of this study, I will deal with a brief history of the Jewish population of Maramureș during the period indicated, the population data of the Jewish minority and the establishment of the Új Kelet newspaper. In the second part, I will analyse some of the articles from the Új Kelet, especially those that contain information about the Jewish community of Maramureș.
