Abstract:
Discusses the views of the two Romanian intellectuals, historian Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) and philosopher Emile Cioran (1911-1995). Both supported the fascist Iron Guard and wrote antisemitic works in the 1930s. Discusses some of Eliade's essays, in which he bemoans the fact that Jews are taking over lands and businesses in Maramureş, Bukovina, and Bessarabia. In 1937 he criticized Hitler for sending Jews to concentration camps instead of killing them. Cioran, on the other hand, praised individual Jews and felt that the country needed them, but in much smaller numbers. Cioran studied in Paris from 1937, and did not return to Romania after 1941. Eliade served as a cultural attaché in embassies in Great Britain and Portugal during the war; he moved to Paris in 1945, and settled in the U.S. in 1956. Notes that Cioran later expressed regret for his support of the Iron Guard, but Eliade simply avoided the subject.
