Summary/Abstract: This paper is not properly an extensive historiographical study, but an attempt to sketch the profile of the post-communist Romanian historiography highly influenced by a sort of ethnic nationalism combined with anti-Semitism which affected also the perspective on the history of Interwar Romanian Jewish community. I have reviewed only a few of the works that came out after 1989, selecting especially those that one considered relevant both generating significant debates, disputes, and representing inflection points in the post-communist historical writing. This field of academic study was decisively changed only by Truth Commissions such as the International Commission for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania and by translations into Romanian of relevant Western secondary literature.
