LEGISLAȚIA ECONOMICĂ ANTIEVREIASCĂ ÎN STATUL ROMÂN (1934-1944)
ANTI-JEWISH ECONOMIC LEGISLATION IN THE ROMANIAN STATE (1934-1944)

Summary/Abstract: The origins of Romanian anti-Semitism are closely linked to the emergence of the modern Romanian state and the formation of national culture. Interwar anti-Semitism grew and developed in parallel with the rise of European anti-Semitism and in political life they manifested themselves with various current anti-Semitic intensities. These anti-Semitic currents manifested themselves more strongly after the coming to power, in December 1937 of the Christian National Party, the installation of the royal dictatorship in 1938 and the national-legionary state led by Ion Antonescu in September 1940, although the first signs appeared since 1934, with liberal government. anti-Jewish economic legislation shows an extremist policy of ethnic cleansing in favour of the majority, a policy of fighting the "internal enemy" as the Jews were categorized. From the multitude of anti-Jewish laws and ordinances it results that the Jewish question was a central concern of the Antonescu government, Jews being excluded and deprived of legal, political and socio-economic rights.
