The Black Book MATATIAS CARP THE BLACK BOOK THE SUFFERINGS OF THE JEWS IN ROMANIA 1940 – 1944 Vol. III TRANSNISTRIA "DACIA TRAIANA" NATIONAL PUBLISHING AND GRAPHIC ARTS SOCIETY BUCHAREST – SARINDAR STR. 5-7-9 1947 1 EXPLANATIONS This volume comprises a series of facts and documents which made it possible to re-enact the tragedy suffered by both the deported and the local Jews in the region situated across the Dniester. As the deportation to Transnistria was the outcome of an ample action of crimes and persecutions which had happened a long time before in the territories that were later affected by massive deportations (the Bukovina, Bessarabia and the Dorohoi County), it was only natural that this research should comprise all these actions. The volume is formed of 7 chapters, each chapter having 2 divisions. One refers to the historical review, a mere recording of the facts and persecutions and the other contains a series of documents on which the greatest part of the statements from the first division are based on. The documents have been numbered. To facilitate the research, at the end of each paragraph of the historical review, was specified (between brackets) the number of the documents they refer to. Chapter V comprises a third division of legislative chronology that comprises all the legal or quasi-legal decrees or ministry decisions applicable only for the deported Jews. The published documents were reproduced partly according to photocopies and in most cases after original documents. Some documents were reproduced after simple copies but only after having been thoroughly checked to ensure that they are entirely genuine. 2 GENERAL HISTORICAL REVIEW World War II represents the greatest degree of degradation in human civilization. Each war contains the damned germ of human savageness. It is only natural that such a long confrontation in time and space, this universal war, which had forced powers to confront each other like enraged enemies, awakened ancestral instincts which, once out of control, destroyed and annihilated without mercy. World War I had already shown the horrifying examples of the vile depths to which twentieth century man was capable of sinking, especially the Teutons. It is enough to mention the relics of culture destroyed in Louvain or Reims, the persecution suffered by the inhabitants of occupied territories: the deportations that took place in Belgium and Northern France, the murder of prisoners, the introduction of poisonous gases and many more. It was to be expected that a new confrontation capitalizing on the latest scientific developments would, in its cruelty and barbarity, surpass anything ever recorded in the history of war. Every piece of writing by experts published during the apparently calm period of 1920 - 1939 predicted the cruel nature of the war to come with a sense of horror, or sometimes haughtiness. None of these publications, however, was endowed with an imagination capable of forecasting the horrifying reality experienced by mankind between 1939 and 1945. The main victims of the barbarity which broke loose were European Jews living on territories under the occupation or influence of Germany. In the percentage ratings the Jewish people are No.1 in the list of war victims (63% of the 9,500,000 European Jews were killed)1. Taking into account the total number of victims, they lie in second position after the Soviet Union; concerning the endured suffering, however, theirs surpassed the suffering of any nation at any time. It is superfluous to repeat here the frightening meaning of insignificant geographical names which from now on will constitute immense chapters in history, i.e. Drancy, Belsen, Buchenwald, Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Maidanek, etc.; First among these is Transnistria. 1 Statistical Memento, vol. II, page 17 (World Jewish Congress Edition) 3 There is no such province, county or district indicated on one single map or geography textbook of Ukraine, Czarist Russia or the Soviet Union. Transnistria, as a geographical entry, had not existed prior to July 1941, and, of course, will never exist in the future. As the scene of an endless series of indescribable suffering, and the burial ground of hundreds of thousands of Jews, Transnistria will remain only as one of the terrifying chapters in history. For three years part of the Ukraine, the rich and fertile soil north of the Black Sea as far as the Dniester and the Bug was known by that name. The Romanian government of Ion Antonescu was entrusted with governing and exploiting it. Centuries of Jewish life and suffering had been linked to this land. The mystical spirit of Bal Shem, whose armchair from the synagogue in Shargorod was devoutly protected by deported Jews even when they were threatened with death from every direction, lingered over the area. It was from here that Shalom Aleichem selected a great number of his protagonists, one of whom, Tevie, the milkman, was born and lived in the narrow street which still bears his name. The Biluists, the pioneers of the Jewish national renaissance, passed through this land. It was also here, in the large city of Odessa, that one of the strongest Jewish intellectual centers was established; Haim Nachman Bialik, Achad Haam, Mendala Mocher Sfurim, S. M. Dubnov, M. Usiskin and the outstanding groups of thinkers and writers centered on Hasiloach and Haolam came from here. Decades of bitter Jewish suffering are also connected with this same region. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Czarist oligarchy used pogroms and anti-Semitic persecution as a pillar against democratic ideas and movements, which were on their way towards successful achievement. From 1881 onwards, the western, and particularly the southwestern part of Russia was a continually stirred cauldron of barbaric anti-Semitic hatred. In Podolia (from part of which the damned Transnistria was formed sixty years later) the pogrom in Odessa was organized, and was followed a year later (April 10, 1882) by the great pogrom in Balta, during which thousands of Jewish households were vandalized and hundreds of Jews were beaten, tortured or murdered. In 1900 a new pogrom took place in Odessa and some years later (1905) in the same town, there was one of the bloodiest massacres of Jews. And, finally, it was in this region that the Jews also had to suffer the 1917 Petliura pogroms (Odessa, Balta, Krivoje-Ozero, etc.). 4 The dawning of the new age proved to be bright and hopeful after this period. For almost a quarter of a century, the Jews between the Bug and the Dniester lived as human beings among human beings. The Jews on this side of the Dniester lived in a more depressing atmosphere, a superficial and relative tranquility, constantly interrupted by the bloody and violent manifestations of hatred through mobs encouraged by the highest powers of Romania. The criminal war instigated by Adolf Hitler and Ion Antonescu revived and infinitely multiplied the pains of the past. This territory was invaded, named Transnistria, and destined to be the graveyard of local and Romanian Jews. Most of their appalling plans were carried out. Today, the soil of Transnistria covers the entire Jewish population of Odessa, found there by Ion Antonescu’s army in October 1941, as well as a substantial proportion of Jews from villages and shtetls in the province. The bones of two thirds of the Jews deported from Romania in 1941 and 1942 can be found at the same place, following the murder of half of the Jews before September 1, 1941 living in the provinces affected by deportation (Bessarabia, Bukovina and Dorohoi County). It took until the spring of 1944 for this horrible outcome—about 350,000 people died through murder, massacres, execution campaigns, methods of barbaric persecution, torture, looting and misery, disease and hunger. The methods of murder varied extremely, and the selection included almost everything invented by the human mind from ancient times until Hitler’s day. Starting from June 1940, and lasting until March 1944, the Jews of Bessarabia, Bukovina and Dorohoi County, and later the Jews of Transnistria, perished as a result of being shot to death, poisoned, hanged, drowned, slaughtered, burned, and starved to death as well as from infectious diseases, the withholding of treatment, the total weakening of the body, and torture resulting in either the death or suicide. It must be emphasized that gas chambers and upgraded crematoriums were not used, and neither were there “scientific” experiments, i.e. vivisection, infection with viruses, the study of the resistance of the human body to extreme temperatures, etc. But it should be mentioned, however, that Romania is a recently civilized country, and lags behind when compared with the European center of German culture. Although signs of German Nazi methods, i.e. the cynicism and fraudulence of planning, the secrecy of preparation, and the brutality of the execution, can be observed, all the initiatives aimed at the deportation and extermination of Jews were the work of Romanian fascism. It is also true that some of these unfortunate people were victims of German barbarism. It must be emphasized, that there were some differences in methods, and boundaries in time that 5 Romanian authorities of higher and lower rank did not step over, or at most only sporadically so. However, the suffering of the approximately 450,000 people, of whom 350,000 died, was not the result of German demands or pressure. The massacres in July and August 1941 in Bessarabia and Bukovina, which had the most victims, were organized by the conquering armies. Among them was the XI German army of General von Schobert. However, his authority extended only to the border of Balti County. At the other parts of the front, from Ceremus to the Danube, it was only the soldiers and officers of the Romanian army who were active.

  • Trials of the War Criminals
    TRIALS OF THE WAR CRIMINALS General Considerations The Fascist regime that ruled Romania between September 14, 1940, and August 23, 1944, was brought to justice in Bucharest in May 1946, and after a short trial, its principal leaders—Ion and Mihai Antonescu and two of their closest assistants—were executed, while others were sentenced to life imprisonment or long terms of detention. At that time, the trial’s verdicts seemed inevitable, as they indeed do today, derived inexorably from the defendants’ decisions and actions. The People’s Tribunals functioned for a short time only. They were disbanded on June 28, 1946,1 although some of the sentences were not pronounced until sometime later. Some 2,700 cases of suspected war criminals were examined by a commission formed of “public prosecutors,”2 but only in about half of the examined cases did the commission find sufficient evidence to prosecute, and only 668 were sentenced, many in absentia.3 There were two tribunals, one in Bucharest and one in Cluj. It is worth mentioning that the Bucharest tribunal sentenced only 187 people.4 The rest were sentenced by the tribunal in Cluj. One must also note that, in general, harsher sentences were pronounced by the Cluj tribunal (set up on June 22, 1 Marcel-Dumitru Ciucă, “Introducere” in Procesul maresalului Antonescu (Bucharest: Saeculum and Europa Nova, 1995-98), vol. 1: p. 33. 2 The public prosecutors were named by communist Minister of Justice Lucret iu Pătrăşcanu and most, if not all of them were loyal party members, some of whom were also Jews.

Tensions between metropolitans and bishops reflected dissatisfaction among parish clergy and laypeople as well, which in some cases resulted in the formation of new religious movements. As a society experiencing extraordinary social and political upheavals, including new borders, a nationalizing state, industrialization, new communication and transportation networks and new political ideologies, inter-war Romania was a fecund environment for religious innovation. With monasticism in decline and ever higher expectations being placed on both priests and laypeople, two of the most significant new religious movements of the period emerged in regions where monasticism and the monastic approach to spirituality had been strongest. The first, Inochentism, began in Bessarabia just before the First World War. Its apocalyptic belief that the end times were near included a strong criticism of the Church and the state, a critique that transferred smoothly onto the Romanian state and Orthodox Church once the region became part of Greater Romania.

  • Politics of Memory of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union Olga Baranova
    Politics of Memory of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union Olga Baranova IWM Junior Visiting Fellows’ Conference Proceedings, Vol. XXXIV © 2015 by the author Readers may redistribute this article to other individuals for noncommercial use, provided that the text and this note remain intact. This article may not be reprinted or redistributed for commercial use without prior written permission from the author. If you have any questions about permissions, please contact the IWM. Abstract: The paper investigates how the issue of the Holocaust was presented in Soviet historiography in post-war period. Despite the fact that the Holocaust is an integral part of the history of WWII, and that about one third of all killed Jews were Soviet citizens who often met their death in numerous killing sites on the occupied territories of the Soviet Union, the Jewish tragedy was largely ignored by Soviet historians. Western scholars argued that, due to Stalinist anti-Semitism and its legacy, Soviet authorities deliberately suppressed any public discussion of the Holocaust. They referred to the notorious example of the Soviet treatment of the Black Book of Soviet Jewry prepared by Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasilij Grossman. The book, which contained important material on the fate of Soviet Jews during WWII was banned in 1948. The paper acknowledges that Soviet accounts in general downplayed or universalized the tragedy of the Jews and that Soviet scholars often preferred to refrain from mentioning the Jewish origin of many Nazi victims and Soviet resistance fighters. However, it demonstrates that the Holocaust was not completely erased from Soviet history books, but was adapted and rewritten within the confines of a conforming ideological narrative.

  • The Evolution of the Road Network on the Current Territory of the Republic of Moldova in the Period 1918-1940 Vitalie Mamot
    ECOTERRA - Journal of Environmental Research and Protection The evolution of the road network on the current territory of the Republic of Moldova in the period 1918-1940 Vitalie Mamot Tiraspol State University, Chișinău, Republic of Moldova. Corresponding author: V. Mamot, [email protected] Abstract. In the history of the Republic of Moldova, the roads were one of the main premises which determined, to a large extent, the socio-economic development of the territory and of the population, who lived here. At the beginning, the roads represented natural itineraries of plains or valleys, in the riverbeds which missed any kind of arrangement. These itineraries were formed and shaped over a long historical period. Changes in the itinerary directions and contents occurred only in case of the geographical landscape modifications or in case of some changes of attraction poles in the network of human settlements under the influence of different natural, economic, social and military factors. The purpose of the article is to restore and analyse the evolution of the road network on the current territory of the Republic of Moldova in the interwar period (1918-1940), when the current territory of the Republic of Moldova was found within Greater Romania. Key Words: road network, roads, road transport, counties. Introduction. The evolution of the transport network is closely dependent on the influence of external and internal factors (Тархов 2005). The first category is attributed to the political and geographical factors (change of state borders, military actions etc.); economic and geographic (the network of human settlements, the direction and configuration of the main transport flows, the degree and character of the economic valorisation of the territory etc.); economic growth or economic crisis; the diffusion of technological innovations in the field of transport; physical and geographical factors.

In this paper, we will present the most important moments of the evolution and development of the mathematical education and research activities in Romanian at Babe¸s-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca. The main figures of the mathematical university staff are also presented. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 01A72, 01A73, 01A70. Keywords: University of Cluj, Babe¸s-Bolyai University, Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Mathematics. 1. A short walk through the history of the university education in Cluj On May 12, 1581 the prince S¸tefan Bathory decided to set up at Cluj a college with three faculties: Theology, Philosophy and Law. This is the first official attestation of a higher education institution in our city. After some climbings and descents and a contradictory evolution of the higher education in Cluj, on October 12, 1872 the emperor Ferenc J´ozsef approves a decision of the Hungarian Parliament for setting up the University of Cluj. This Hungarian university have had four faculties: Law and State Sciences, Medicine, Philosophy, Letters and History and, the last one, Mathematics and Natural Sciences. During this period some pre-eminent mathematicians (such as Gyula Farkas, Lip´otFej´er,Frigyes Riesz or Alfr´ed Haar) have had essential contributions to the development of the Cluj mathematical school. The great wish of the Romanian nation to have their own university with com- plete studies in Romanian was finally accomplish after the union of the province of Transylvania with the Romanian principality in 1918.

  • Babi Yar, the Tragedy of Kiev's Jews
    Brandeis Graduate Journal http://www.brandeis.edu/gradjournal 2004, Volume 2 All Rights Reserved Babi Yar, the Tragedy of Kiev’s Jews Victoria Khiterer Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Department, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University The mass murder of European Jews by the Nazis gathered momentum in September 1941 at the ravine of Babi Yar in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, then in the Soviet Union, which had just been occupied by the German Army. Here is where the Nazis had their first experience with luring tens of thousands of Jews into a trap from which escape was practically impossible and death almost certain. In a few days the Nazis killed over a 100 thousand Jews, practically the entire Jewish population of Kiev at that time. A careful examination the events surrounding the Babi Yar massacre provides insight into the development of the tricks used by the Germans during the Holocaust to entice Jews to leave their homes and go to the designated gathering places from which they were ushered to their execution. In spite of the importance of Babi Yar as a testing ground for the Nazi’s vile chicanery and limitless cruelty, surprisingly little serious scholarly research been published about these tragic events at the end of the summer of 1941. My article uncovers details essential to understanding the actions of the Jewish victims, their German executioners as well as the local collaborators who assisted the Nazis. The sparse literature about the horrifying events at Babi Yar includes George St. George’s1 book “The Road

  • FINAL REPORT International Commission on the Holocaust In
    FINAL REPORT of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania Presented to Romanian President Ion Iliescu November 11, 2004 Bucharest, Romania NOTE: The English text of this Report is currently in preparation for publication. © International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania. All rights reserved. DISTORTION, NEGATIONISM, AND MINIMALIZATION OF THE HOLOCAUST IN POSTWAR ROMANIA Introduction This chapter reviews and analyzes the different forms of Holocaust distortion, denial, and minimalization in post-World War II Romania. It must be emphasized from the start that the analysis is based on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s definition of the Holocaust, which Commission members accepted as authoritative soon after the Commission was established. This definition1 does not leave room for doubt about the state-organized participation of Romania in the genocide against the Jews, since during the Second World War, Romania was among those allies and a collaborators of Nazi Germany that had a systematic plan for the persecution and annihilation of the Jewish population living on territories under their unmitigated control. In Romania’s specific case, an additional “target-population” subjected to or destined for genocide was the Romany minority. This chapter will employ an adequate conceptualization, using both updated recent studies on the Holocaust in general and new interpretations concerning this genocide in particular. Insofar as the employed conceptualization is concerned, two terminological clarifications are in order. First, “distortion” refers to attempts to use historical research on the dimensions and significance of the Holocaust either to diminish its significance or to serve political and propagandistic purposes. Although its use is not strictly confined to the Communist era, the term “distortion” is generally employed in reference to that period, during which historical research was completely subjected to controls by the Communist Party’s political censorship.
