History and histories from Reghin and the nearby villages. The Second World War

Summary/Abstract: The essay is the result of an oral history research and aims to present the town Reghin and its nearby villages by illustrating some life stories, lived by ordinary people who realize today that their memories are part of the history. The Second World War meant for Reghin and its neighboring villages: Hungarian administration, German troops, Russian troops, damages, evictions,population displacements, refuge and emigration. Population movements were caused by the war and had been an immediate result of the events which took place in the entire area of the today’s Mureş county. Most of the Romanian population living here fled to refuge in woodland and isolated places; a lot of Hungarians fled to Hungary; the Jews were evacuated and stationed in Nazi concentration camps; most of the Saxons went, willingly or imposed, with the German troops in 1944; the so called „poor people of the plains” occupied the abandoned homes of Saxons; a lot of Saxons returned after a while in their native villages – all this facts are mutations which took place during the 1940's in this geographic area.
