Using primarily resources from The Romanian National Archives in Bucharest, the research focuses primarily on the decisions made by the Church’s leaders in the Holy Synod. The Romanian government leading up to the war was a dictatorship led by a king and had a close relationship with the Church. During the war the Church remained close to the central government under Marshall Ion Antonescu, who was an ally to Germany’s Hitler. Publicly the Church was one of Antonescu’s greatest supporters. The Church’s leaders rationalized supporting the Romanian government before and during Antonescu’s regime using popular notions of Romanian nationalism. Antonescu reciprocated the Church’s support with laws and policies that favored the Romanian Orthodox Church legally and financially above other vi confessions. One of these policies was to put restrictions on certain minority religious groups and outlawing them. Their resources were confiscated and often gifted to local Orthodox parishes. Another important law prohibited Jews from becoming Christians. The Orthodox Church’s implementation of this law demonstrates that the Church supported the Romanian government’s anti-Jewish philosophy and policies. The actions of other Christians who ignored the prohibition are used as contrasting examples to the Orthodox Church’s policy. While the Church did not participate with the Romanian government and military in perpetrating the Holocaust, the Church’s strong presence in Transnistria indicates that the Church’s clergy had direct knowledge of the violence there. The failure to take action in this area represents a moral failure by an institution that touted itself as Romania’s moral compass. Based on the Church’s wartime actions it was complicit in the Antonescu regime’s crimes. Following the Antonescu regime’s collapse in August 1944 the Romanian Orthodox Church quickly reversed its stance on many of its wartime policies. vii Table of Contents Preface……………………………………………………………………………ix Introduction………………………………………………………………………1 Chapter 1: The Romanian People’s Church……………………………………...25 Chapter 2: The Romanian Orthodox Church and the Romanian Government…...45 Chapter 3: The Anti-Sectarian Campaign………………………………………...88 Chapter 4: Law 711: The Romanian Orthodox Church and Romanian Jews…….123 Chapter 5: The Church on the Eastern Front……………………………………..164 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………..187 Appendix…………………………………………………………………………197 Bibliography………………………………………………………………………205 viii Preface When writing about the Romanian Orthodox Church during the Second World War I refer to the Church generally and not individually, primarily addressing the Church’s leadership and not the Church’s membership. The archival materials I use do not tell the whole story of course. When planning my trip to the archives in winter 2012 I also tried to contact the Romanian Orthodox Church Archives. I emailed the people listed on the Church’s website that I was doing research on the Romanian Orthodox Church and that I would like to know if I could meet with an archivist when I was in Romania. I explained that although I planned on doing my research at the National Archives I thought that going to the Church’s archives would be even more beneficial to historical research about the Church. I justified that my research would be beneficial because there is so little published on the Romanian Orthodox Church in America. I explained I was eager and looking forward to meeting them. No one responded. I thought well maybe they think this is a joke. After all, no one has ever heard of me and why would some guy claiming to be from California go to Romania in the winter? Internet scams are quite common so maybe they thought I was a hoax. So when I arrived in Romania I called the archivist in Bucharest. I left several voicemail messages on what was indeed his phone as he identified himself in his voicemail box. I even purposefully put on an American accent while making several grammatical flubs on purpose in one message while speaking Romanian to make sure he could hear that I was telling the truth. There were no returned calls or messages. When I went to the address listed I was told that they had no idea what I was talking about and ix one person pretended not to understand me. Măi omule, vorbesc româneşte! [Hey man, I speak Romanian!] I should not have expected anything else. When I arrived at the Romanian National Archives, thanks to Dr. Radu Ioanid’s help the director met with me for an hour. We spoke about my project and he told me not to expect any cooperation from the Church. He explained that the National Archives had difficulties working with the Church and that even he found it frustrating. The wonderful ladies who worked in the office and were so helpful also were skeptical I would have success convincing anyone at the Church to let me in the Church’s archive. When speaking to some of the other researchers at the archives they spoke bluntly. Every older professor explained that there was no way the Church would help me. One of the older gentlemen tended to have the same grueling schedule as mine and often talked to me about my project in the coat hall. He told me he hoped that I could publish it because if any Romanian historian published what I was finding it would be career suicide. I cannot say it would be career suicide, but certainly it would ruffle a lot of feathers. Some of what I have written here may seem like a harsh criticism or analysis. I assure you it is not. The fact is that the Romanian Orthodox Church considers itself the direct descendant of the Ancient Church established by Christ’s apostles and that it bases its teachings on those found in the Bible. The Church sees itself as the Kingdom of God on the earth, as do most Christian confessions. And so it is expected to teach certain principles and behave in a certain way based on its own high standards. Should the Romanian Orthodox Church or any other Christian confession fail to meet these x standards then it should expect criticism, even from outsiders. These criticisms are based solely on the events found in the documents used and the Church’s own interpretation of what it means to be Christian. I hope that someday the Romanian Orthodox Church will give full archival access to outside scholars without worrying about its reputation. xi Introduction This dissertation examines the activities of the Romanian Orthodox Church during the Second World War with a special emphasis on the Church’s involvement in the persecution of the Romanian Jewry and religious minorities, and the Church’s close relationship with the Antonescu regime. It focuses on the Church generally as an institution, which necessitates a focus on the Church’s leadership, policies on interactions with other sects or faiths, and church leadership attitudes that affected the situation of Romanian Jews and other religious minorities. This is the first major study to focus solely on the Church during World War II. The historiography for Romania in all cases points to the Church as being adaptively supportive of the Romanian government from the end of World War I to the end of the socialist regime; even in the last days before Ceauşescu’s demise Patriarch Teoctist publicly gave his support to the regime in an attempt to retain the Church’s privileges given by the socialist regime vis-à-vis other confessions.1 But there are no studies that focus only on the Church during World War II. The argument presented here is that the Church did more than just vocalize support for the Antonescu regime, it actively sought out ways in which it could further the regime’s aims regarding Romania’s Jews and religious minorities.

  • 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.

  • Spencer Sunshine*
    Journal of Social Justice, Vol. 9, 2019 (© 2019) ISSN: 2164-7100 Looking Left at Antisemitism Spencer Sunshine* The question of antisemitism inside of the Left—referred to as “left antisemitism”—is a stubborn and persistent problem. And while the Right exaggerates both its depth and scope, the Left has repeatedly refused to face the issue. It is entangled in scandals about antisemitism at an increasing rate. On the Western Left, some antisemitism manifests in the form of conspiracy theories, but there is also a hegemonic refusal to acknowledge antisemitism’s existence and presence. This, in turn, is part of a larger refusal to deal with Jewish issues in general, or to engage with the Jewish community as a real entity. Debates around left antisemitism have risen in tandem with the spread of anti-Zionism inside of the Left, especially since the Second Intifada. Anti-Zionism is not, by itself, antisemitism. One can call for the Right of Return, as well as dissolving Israel as a Jewish state, without being antisemitic. But there is a Venn diagram between anti- Zionism and antisemitism, and the overlap is both significant and has many shades of grey to it. One of the main reasons the Left can’t acknowledge problems with antisemitism is that Jews persistently trouble categories, and the Left would have to rethink many things—including how it approaches anti- imperialism, nationalism of the oppressed, anti-Zionism, identity politics, populism, conspiracy theories, and critiques of finance capital—if it was to truly struggle with the question. The Left understands that white supremacy isn’t just the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, but that it is part of the fabric of society, and there is no shortcut to unstitching it.

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • Project Deliverable Holocaust Background Text How Is It Possible That a Man with Such Hateful, Devastating Intentions Can Gain A
    Project Deliverable Holocaust Background Text How is it possible that a man with such hateful, devastating intentions can gain as much power as Adolf Hitler did before and during World War II? It is a common belief that in order for people to follow a hateful leader, they must themselves be hateful people. However, it has been shown that that it not necessarily true and this is how Hitler was able to gain his power. In further research, it is understood that people did not necessarily agree with his anti-Semitism beliefs but rather agreed with his other beliefs and ignored his extreme anti-Semitism. [1] Despite losing a Presidential election in 1932, through this process, Hitler began to make a name for himself and gained political attention. However, it wasn't until he was appointed chancellor months later that he was able to start his rise to power. Even though Hitler freely expressed his strong distaste toward the Jews, it was his "powerful leadership, the promise of a reborn Germany, the interests of the common people, and above all, strong anti-Marxism" that made his leadership attractive to the German population. [1] In 1933, when Hitler was elected, there were only half a million Jews in all of Germany. This means that they accounted for less than one percent of the German population. Despite such a low population, the Jews heightened their visibility by high concentrations in certain cities and overrepresentation in certain businesses. "German Jews enjoyed freedom of religion and legal equality, including the right to vote. In contrast, Jews in Russia and Eastern Europe were still fleeing pogroms.

On the other hand, although Turkey had saved its neutral position from the beginning of the war, it had tried to support Romania, its ally in the Balkan Pact, in a political dimension in case the risk of Soviet expansion across the Balkans. As Turkey did not desire Romania to be partitioned, it played an active role in regard to making a fare cease-fire agreement between Romanian Government and the Allies.
