The Erasure of King Carol II's Name during the Communist Regime. Case Study – the Church Saints Archangels from Craiova

Summary/Abstract: The communist propaganda tried to make Romanian people forget the Hohenzollern dynasty. They excluded the kings of this family from the history studied in schools and universities and, moreover, the ideologists of the regime used other methods to raze the monarchy from the social memory. One of these methods was to remove the kings' names from different public monuments, as it happened at the church Saints Archangels from Craiova, where Carol II's name was erased from an inscription dating back to 1932.
