Summary/Abstract: This article aims to introduce into the scholarly circuit some new information, from lesser-known British sources, about the Jewish question in Romania and its discussion at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, as well as about the development of the system of protection of minorities “of race, language and religion”. First and foremost, there is the unpublished diary of Lucien Wolf, one of the leaders of British Jewry, a text held in the Mocatta Library, part of the Special Collections at the University College Library in London. It is somewhat surprising that Lucien Wolf ’s diary, dedicated to his work at the Paris Peace Forum, has not yet been published. It is, however, used by various authors but not as an essential source. Moreover, to our knowledge, it has not been read so far in terms of references to Romania, Romanian Jews, or Wilhelm Filderman.
