Abstract

[The zeal with which Romanian authorities began deporting Jews in the summer of 1941 into German-occupied territories in the Ukraine, without express orders or requests from the Nazis, has become legendary. Unprepared for the masses of deportees, the Germans sent thousands of them back to Bessarabia and Bukovina, and even blocked several bridges on the Dniester to stop the floods that were streaming in from the Bessarabian region of the country. “German National Socialism was schooled in Romania!” wrote Dr. Nathan Getzler in his wartime diary of Cernăuţi1 and Transnistria (Getzler 1962, 55). The Romanian Fascist newspaper Porunca Vremii presented the Romanian efforts to get rid of Jews as a model to the rest of Europe as early as the summer 1941: “The die has been cast… The liquidation of the Jews in Romania has entered a final, decisive phase… To the joy of our emancipation must be added the pride of [pioneering] the solution to the Jewish problem in Europe… Present-day Romania is prefiguring the decisions to be made by the Europe of tomorrow” (Quoted in Ioanid 2000, 122, 123).]
