UN MEMORIU CARE ACUZĂ. DORI POPOVICI, „MEMORIU ÎNAINTAT DOMNULUI MAREŞAL ION ANTONESCU, CONDUCĂTOR AL STATULUI ROMÂN, CU PRIVIRE LA SITUAŢIA DIN BUCOVINA” (II)
An Accusatory Memorandum. Dori Popovici, “A Plea to the Lord Marshall Ion Antonescu, the Leader of the Romanian State, Regarding the Situation in Bukovina”(II)

Summary/Abstract: In the following article, we publish the second part of the memorandum sent to Ion Antonescu by Dorimedont Popovici, and we present his proposals for the establishment of a “new administration” in Bukovina, based on new principles and highly trained officials of great rigour and morality. The most significant part of this text refers to the “Rumanization” of the Bukovina's economy and the “solving of the Jewish problem” in Bukovina. The memorandum in itself reveals a hallucinatory mix of administrative acrimony and anti-Semitic ideas, which were, in fact, the foundations of the policy that led to the Holocaust of the Jews in Romania. In order to better outline the personality of the author of the memorandum, at the end we publish the reaction of I. E. Toroutiu to Popovici’s pleading which addressed Mihai Antonescu, vice-president of the Council of Ministers, who was directly responsible for the administration of Bukovina.
