The Contextualization of the Holocaust in Romania. Legislation, Press, Rule of Law and Public Policies

Summary/Abstract: The Holocaust is treated in the scholarly literature as a phenomenon characterized by singularity and specifi city, therelevance of the subject being often discussed in political or historical studies. To determine how it was possible for so manypeople involved to act both actively and passively in this dark episode of history, it is necessary to treat the Holocaust within theframe of social sciences at an interdisciplinary level. We propose to treat the subject both from a legislative perspective, in orderto follow the way in which the rule of law can instrument the extermination of a group for religious reasons, as well as fromthe perspective of informing through the press, respectively that of public policies, to observe the masking of a phenomenon ofsuch extent. Also, the article emphasizes that the post-Holocaust Jewish reintegration decisions in the Romanian society werein fact formalities and the Romanian culture was and will remain one of an anti-Semitic type.
