The Legal Status of Jewish Properties after the Second World War
The author examines the legislative means by which the Jewish minority in Romania was dispossessed of its assets prior to World War II by the fascist regime and in the wake of this war by the communist regime. The study examines how the post-World War II government wilfully hindered the restitution of unlawfully taken Jewish assets and how it not only allowed the perpetuation of the dispossession which took place during the Holocaust but also added measures for the nationalization of Jewish assets. The post-1989 restitution process is also examined briefly to outline the successive failure of the Romanian Government to enact proper restitution.
