Abstract:
In September 1940 Romanian Jewish actors, musicians, singers, conductors, and theatrical personnel were forbidden to work in public or government institutions. But they were allowed to perform under private Jewish auspices, with a sign indicating "teatru evreesc" (Jewish theater). In March 1941, five weeks after the pogrom in Bucharest, the Jewish theater opened. Between 1941-43 there were ca. 1,000 performances of some thirty shows - comedy, drama, musical revues, and children's plays - as well as cultural events (e.g. lectures, literary evenings). In the sphere of music, there was a symphony orchestra, a jazz band, and Jewish songfests of popular and liturgical music. Cantors and choirs were allowed to perform in the synagogues, attended by thousands of Jews. Schools for the arts and conservatories were established in Bucharest, Jassy, and Bacau. All of these activities comprised a form of resistance to Antonescu's fascist regime.
