Summary/Abstract: The author updates the points of view expressed by some Jewish intellectuals (in memorial and scientific texts, interviews, occasional accounts) in reference to the rescue actions carried out by the Romanian inhabitants from Transylvania, at the border between Hungary and Romania. Certain important truths have been emphasized since more perseverance was needed in order to recover them.
