Summary/Abstract: The study of the combination between the search for identity and the desire to integrate into society represents an exciting research. History is a rich source of information. It renders the analysis of such a topic a fairly challenging enterprise, open to many approaches, from different angles. We will therefore analyze the migration ways chosen by a large number of Romanian Jews at the end of the Second World War. At the same time, we will present the manner in which the Romanian state responded to this situation. We have to acknowledge the fact that, unfortunately, the studies on this part of Jewish history are only a few. The books and materials that constituted the starting point for our current study, carefully consolidated by research into archive documents – as shown in the bibliographic references – are as follows: Evreii din România (1945-1965) – Mărturii documentare (Jews in Romania – 1945-1965 – Documentary Testimonies), coordinated by Lucian Nastasă, Gloria şi decăderea Anei Pauker (The Glory and Decline of Ana Pauker) by Robert Levy and Evreii în România anilor 1944-1949 (The Romanian Jews in the 1944-1949 Period) by Háry Kuller.
