Modalitati de Subminare a Libertatii Religioase: Cultul Mozaic in Perioada Guvernarii Antonescu
Undermining Religious Freedom: the Mosaic Cult under the Antonescu Government

Summary/Abstract: The article notes that one of the first measures taken by the national-legionnaire state against the Jews (to be later pursued by the Antonescu Government) was to limit the activities of the Mosaic cult. It is the argument of the author that these measures, including expropriations, evictions, interdictions (and sometimes even crimes against the servers of the cult and the believers) were meant to undermine and subordinate the Jewish religious and community life, but also, on a more subtle level, to fuel a permanent feeling of alienation, designed to confirm a certain state of fact: that the Jews were at the state's discretion not only physically but also spiritually and morally.
