Abstract:
Romania attracted relatively few racial or political refugees from Nazi Germany. Bauer here names some of the more prominent ones. Although antisemitism was pervasive in Romania, and although the Iron Guard was a strong movement, until 1939 the refugees enjoyed intellectual freedom. They could obtain anti-Nazi publications from abroad and also publish their own. Mentions, also, the ships carrying refugees from Central Europe to Romania. During the Soviet occupation of parts of Romania, many Jewish leaders were deported. With the start of the anti-Soviet war on the part of Romania, in alliance with the Germans, there were pogroms in Iaşi and Bucharest. From the Nazi-occupied provinces, the Jews were deported to Transnistria, where over 200,000 perished. Jews in central Romania were drafted for forced labor. The Jewish community tried to aid the deportees and to pressure the regime. Surveys some of the extensive German-language literature written by survivors of the camps in Transnistria.
