Treating the Jewish Question in the Time of the Military Administration in Northern Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: The Jewish question and its pitch, the Holocaust, is one of the most sensitive issues of the 1940–1944 period. The study deals with the Jewish question from the time of the so-called military administration, established in the first few months of the above mentioned period. The anti-Jewish measures of the period can be grouped as follows: those affecting their citizenship; their industrial certificates, as well as those meant to repel their commercial activity; measures for constraining them to labour service; and – hidden at first – intentions of taking over their properties. Furthermore, a case study of a Jewish lawyer illustrates the carrier possibilities of a middle-class Jew. One of the peculiarities of these few months is that all the anti-Jewish measures fulfi lled subsequently after this period can already be traced at this time.
