A urmat primul an de liceu la Colegiul „Diaconovici Loga“ din Timişoara (1932-1933), apoi a fost selecţionat, în urma unui concurs, pentru a reprezenta Banatul în clasa Maiestății Sale Regele Mihai (clasa palatină). A studiat în cadrul clasei palatine din clasa a II-a până într-a VI-a (1933-1938), când a fost nevoit să o părăsească din motive de „reducere bugetară”, continuându-și studiile la Liceul Militar din Târgu-Mureş.

  • Victimizing Romania – a Fictional History of German Expansion Toward East
    VICTIMIZING ROMANIA – A FICTIONAL HISTORY OF GERMAN EXPANSION TOWARD EAST Mihai Chioveanu This paper is a critical overview of the Romanian historiography concerned with the topic suggested in the title. In my opinion few introductory remarks are necessary here as long as there are still elements that shape the Romanian histo- rical discourse on this particular matter. The first is the permanent tendency toward simplification. The second refers to the nonexistence of any study dedi- cated to this subject or any other related to German history between 1933 and 1945. Thus, the great number of authors and titles that might suggest a major interest is, in this case, a ‘Red Herring’. The absence of Romanian scholars from the international academic debates and the fact that almost all of their works are published only in Romanian are strong arguments in this sense. The explanation for this negative, persistent attitude consists in the fact that the official national vulgate, which monopolized the subject, is totally reluctant when refers to those aspects that are not strictly related to the history of the Romanian National State1. Furthermore, the permanent linkage with ideology that transformed the topic into a paradigmatic case of fictional history has to be mentioned here2. Within Romanian historiography the expansionist, aggressive policy of Germany in Eastern Europe represented merely a perfect scientific ‘scapegoat’, and part of an invented tradition3. By presenting Romania restrictively as a victim of German imperialism4 and Hitler’s megalomania the primary intention was to elude different explanations regarding the domestic dynamic and international evolution of the Romanian state during the Interwar period, aspects that are directly linked with this topic.

  • 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. SOLIDARITY AND RESCUE ROMANIAN RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS Introduction In June 2000, by resolution of the Bucharest town hall, a street in the Romanian capital was named “Dr. Traian Popovici,” after the former mayor of Cernăuţi during the Second World War, who saved thousands of Jews from deportation to Transnistria. Popovici was the first Romanian awarded the title “Righteous among Nations” by Yad Vashem to be officially honored by the Romanian government. This happened six decades after the end of the war and thirty-five years after Yad Vashem granted the title to Popovici. This odd delay in celebrating a man who deserves the respect of a national hero was, undoubtedly, the outcome of a process aimed at the rehabilitation of the Antonescu regime for its crimes against the Jews. This process commenced during the Ceausescu regime and continued after the fall of communism with the more overt attempt to turn Antonescu into a martyr and national hero.1 That Romanians who saved Jewish lives by endangering their own were not paid public homage during their lifetime may be explained by the fact that postwar generations in Romania were educated in the spirit of the patriotic myth of a Romania unsullied by the war, despite the glaring truth that it had been an ally of Nazi Germany.

The British Government reacted moderately, acquiescing to recall their diplomats but refusing to concede to the Romanians when it came to their ‘flimsy’ accusations.

    KITEKINTÉS 105 MISKOLCZY AMBRUS „ÉS AZ ÁRULÓKNAK CSAK GOLYÓNK VAN!” AVAGY MIÉRT VÉGEZTÉK KI A VASGÁRDISTÁK EGYKORI TÁRSUKAT, MIHAIL STELESCUT „És az árulóknak csak golyónk van!” – énekelték a vasgárdisták, és az 1930-as években kiderült, hogy ezt a fenyegetést komolyan kell venni. A Vasgárda olyan sokarcú paramilitáris fasiszta mozgalomként hódított teret, amely úgy akart új világot teremteni, hogy egyben ki akarta irtani a román történelmi bűnöket is. Ezek közül az egyik legsúlyosabb az árulás volt. Végül is áru- ló volt mindenki, aki velük szemben állt, elsősorban a liberális demokráciát valló politikusok, mert szerintük kiszolgáltatták az országot a zsidóknak és a szabadkőműveseknek. 1933 decemberében a Vasgárda már jó esélyekkel indulhatott volna a választásokon, de a miniszterelnök, Ion Gheorghe Duca betiltotta a szervezetet. Ezért 29-én három vasgárdista megölte a miniszter- elnököt, éspedig úgy, hogy egyikük szinte szó szerint galléron ragadta, le- árulózta és lelőtte. A tettesek feladták magukat, a tömeges letartóztatások nyomán a mozgalom vezetői, számos tagja a jilavai börtönbe és hadbíróság elé került, de csak a három gyilkost ítélték el. Felmentették az öreg Gheorghe (Zizi) Cantacuzino generálist, aki korábban több levélben is halálosan meg- fenyegette Ducát, és a bírák akár felbujtóként is elítélhették volna, de nem tették, hiszen olyan világháborús hősről volt szó, aki vakmerőségével tűnt ki. Nem ítélték el a morális szerzőnek tekinthető Corneliu Zelea Codreanut, a mozgalom vezetőjét, a Kapitányt, aki kifejezetten ítéletet követelt a maga fejére, ha az öreg tábornokot elítélik, aki viszont így mutatott vádlott társára: „Ez az én fiam! Ne vegyétek el!” Nem tették, a melodráma sikert aratott. Győzött a kollegiális szolidaritás, az antiszemitizmus és antiliberalizmus.
