Traces the life of Alexandru Şafran (1910-2006), Chief Rabbi of Romania in 1940-47. In 1947 he was forced into exile by the communist regime. Pp. 62-85 deal with the development of antisemitism in 1940-44 and Şafran's continuous interventions with authorities (including Ion Antonescu, the Queen Mother, and King Michael) on behalf of Romania's 800,000 Jews. Discusses his role in the cancellation of the deportation of Jews in fall 1942, his aid to Jews in Transnistria, and his involvement in political and spiritual resistance.
