Societăţi caritative şi religioase din Cluj şi Oradea în sprijinul persoanelor şi categoriilor defavorizate (perioada interbelică)
Religious and Charitable Societies from Cluj and Oradea Supporting Disfavoured Persons and Categories (the Interwar Period)

Summary/Abstract: The study approaches the ways in which the charity societies from Cluj and Oradea, during the period between the two world wars, have come to help the persons and those categories of people affected by the poverty and diseases. In these two cities from Transylvania, the communities have founded support associations or societies with charity purposes. Their big number that exists in all ethnic groups – Romanian, Hungarian, and Israeli – proves, on one hand, the reality of some serious issues concerning the individual and group existence and, on the other hand, the benevolent involvement of the persons eager to help those in need. There were used documents from the county departments of Bihor and Cluj-Napoca of the National Archives, as well as information from the journals of the two cities.
