„Masacrul din Galaţi” (aprilie 1859) – un episod din istoria comunităţii evreieşti de la Galaţi
“The Massacre of Galatz” (April 1859) – An episode in the history of the Jewish community from Galatz

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents, on the basis of several documents found at The National Archives of the United Kingdom, part of the official correspondence between the British vice-consul at Galatz and his superiors from Jassy or Constantinople, a famous, yet little documented episode that led to an anti-Semitic riot, under the accusation that a Jew attempted to ritually murder a Christian boy. The documents annexed to this paper are an important historical source which can clarify, to a great extent, these incidents and their consequences on the persons and properties of the local Jewish population.
