Comunitatea (1936).
The Community (1936).

Summary/Abstract: Horia Carp (1869–1943), journalist, writer, translator, and politician, was the founder of “Cultura” magazine (1911). His literary work stressed Jewish life in Romania. He wrote denouncing Antisemitism [“Răspuns insinuărilor d-lui Bogdan Duică” (“Reply to Bogdan Duică’s Insinuations”; 1914)], or defending Judaism [“Străinii în Biblie şi Talmud” (“The Foreigners in the Bible and the Talmud”; 1924)]. He was arrested and tortured during the rebellion of the Iron Guard (21–23 January 1941), but succeeded in immigrating to Palestine. He settled in Jerusalem, where his son, Matatias Carp – author of “Cartea Neagră” (“The Black Book”), on Romanian Jews during the Shoah – joined him. The present Conference – “The Community”, 1936 – is very important for recreating the image of Jewish Community in interwar Romania.
