The Moment of Unification of the Two Universities of Cluj „V. Babes” and „J. Bolyai” in the Memory of Students (1959)

Summary/Abstract: After October 1944, when Cluj was liberated of Horthy’s troops an important mission was bringing back the University from its exile in Sibiu. In March 1946, ”King Ferdinand” University opened its gates in the same time as the new Hungarian University “J. Bolyai” did, in order to create a new consciousness according to the ideology of proletarian internationalism. The two Universities cohabited until 1959. In that year the system decided that the Hungarian University has to be integrated to „V. Babeş” University. This moment is remembered by some remarkable nowadays professors: Camil Mureşanu, Csucsuja István, Nicolae Sabău, Vasile Vese, Aurel Negucioiu etc. Our attempt tries to reveal the importance of the oral discourse regarding an official moment in the communist regime. The oral reconstruction of the events connected to the unification of the two Universities is essential in order to have a complete framework of those days.
