ATITUDINEA POPULAŢIEI NE-EVREIESŞTI DIN BASARABIA ŞI TRANSNISTRIA FAŢĂ DE EVREI ÎN PERIOADA HOLOCAUSTULUI: O PERSPECTIVĂ A SUPRAVIEŢUITORILOR
The attitude of NON-HEBREW population from Basarabia and Transnistria regarding the Jews during Holocaust: A perspective of survivors

Summary/Abstract: The history of the Romanian Holocaust made a real breakthrough in the recent years. The Romanian government’s policy against the Jews, the responsibility of Ion Antonescu, the history of massacres in Romania, Bessarabia, and Transnistria, the deportation of Bukovinian and Bessarabian Jewry, and the fate of deportees and local Ukrainian Jews in the internment places of Transnistria, were all brought to light. However, one element has been missing almost completely from the complex story depicted by the researchers of the Romanian Holocaust: the role and place of the local civilian non-Jewish population. This paper tries to fill this gap and brings into the picture the non-Jewish population of Bessarabia and Transnistria; but not as plain and static groups, but more as bearers of previously inculcated values; as populations that react based on previous background and present realities to the racist policy of a newly established regime.
