Deportarea etnicilor germani în U.R.S.S. – între exploatarea capitalului uman şi acţiune punitivă
The Deportation of Germans from Romania to USSR – between Exploitation of Human Resource and Punitive Action (January - February 1945)

Summary/Abstract: The deportation of Germans from Romania, in January and February 1945, was a punitive action directed against an ethnic minority who had not been involved in World War II. By violation of international law, Germans – Romanian nationals – were kidnapped from their own country and used as a free of charge labor force in the reconstruction of the USSR. Considering the full incapacity of the Romanian Government to protect its citizens as the Red Army already occupied Bucharest, the Soviet Union developed a modern slavery system, where entire populations were transferred from a great distance with the express purpose of destroying their community links.
