Societatea „Ocrotirea Orfanilor din Război” şi rolul prinţesei Olga Sturdza
Society “Protection of War Orphans” and the role of Princess Olga Sturdza

Summary/Abstract: This text features the efforts made by Olga Sturdza and the history of a project, the Society “Protection of War Orphans” (SOOR). At the same time, I understood I was not to isolate the case of orphan children from the extremely complicated context of the war, of the situation in interwar Romania. I considered it necessary to insert in the text, from the perspective of the paediatricians, a brief overview of the way children were perceived in the Old Kingdom. Subsequently, I featured – from the perspective of the administrative evolution – the path of the Society “Protection of War Orphans” from a local initiative to a nationwide phenomenon, focusing on the orphans within all provinces of the Greater Romania, regardless of their nationality or confession.
