Abstract

Between the wars, Romania had one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe: in 1930, 756,930 Jews, constituting the biggest Jewish community after the Jewish communities from Poland and Soviet Union, lived in Romania.

When the past is silenced, the future is jeopardized. When history is falsified, humanity is impoverished.
