Introduction to the Special Section
This introduction explains the origin of the Special Section, its design, the criteria for selecting the contributions, and shows how each addresses various aspects of its central theme: the legal consciousness of perpetrators at the time they committed their crimes
Malicious Neglect and Lethal Violence
This article explores Romanian policy towards approximately 25,000 Romanian Roma deported from May through October 1942 into the region of southwestern Ukraine known as Transnistria. Occupied and administered by the Romanians during 1941–1944, Transnistria served as a dumping ground for ethnic and political undesirables of the military dictatorship of Ion Antonescu, primarily Jews and Roma. The region witnessed numerous atrocities against Jews, i…
Epidemic and Genocide
Based on a wide range of published and archival sources, this article explores the “policy” pursued by the Romanian administrators, gendarmerie, and medical establishment in occupied Transnistria during the typhus epidemic in the fall and winter of 1941–42. It addresses the moot problem of whether the monstrously high mortality among the Jewish deportees was due to the unpreparedness of the Romanian administration to their arrival and stay in the…
Rain of Ash
Popular Sentiments and Political Failures
This article revisits the foundational years of 1989-1992 when the Republic of Moldova obtained its independence and simultaneously suffered territorial losses due to separatist movements. The quasi-official view in today's Moldova holds that separatist movements of that era in Transnistria and Gagauzia were the results of Moscow's meddling in Moldovan affairs aimed at punishing the Moldovans' quest for independence. The paper argues that this in…
Record Weak
This article explores the role of the Romanian judiciary in occupied Transnistria in 1940–1944. Based on a wide array of sources from American, Israeli, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Moldovan archives, the article focuses on the role of the judiciary in the fight against official corruption and administrative abuse, enforcement of legal norms in the fight against pro‐Soviet guerrilla groups, and curtailment of violence against Jews. In these areas the…
Tudor Georgescu. The Eugenic Fortress
While Tudor Georgescu’s The Eugenic Fortress: The Transylvanian Saxon Experiment in Interwar Romania focuses on the eugenic movement within the German Saxon community in Romanian Transylvania between the two world wars, its purview extends to a number of conjoint subjects. Among them are the origin of this movement in the pre–World War I Saxon community; the import of eugenic ideas from Austria and Germany; the spread of the Saxon eugenic movemen…
A conspiracy to murder
This article offers a comprehensive interpretation of the Romanian ‘policy’ towards Jews in Transnistria in 1941–44. This region in southwestern Ukraine witnessed both a monstrous number of Jewish victims, usually estimated as no fewer than 350,000 and possibly more, and an unusually high survival rate by the standards of the occupied Soviet territory. The article argues that what is sometimes referred to as ‘inconsistency’ in Romanian policy can…
The Kishinev Ghetto, 1941−1942
This volume treats the history of the Jewish ghetto in Kishinev (Chişinău, capital of today's Republic of Moldova) from July 1941 to April 1942. Established by the Romanian authorities on German advice and following the example of German-created ghettos elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe, the Kishinev ghetto housed at one time more than ten thousand Jews—more women, children, and elderly people than able-bodied men. Shapiro makes the story p…
Nationalist Utopianism, Orientalist Imagination, and Economic Exploitation
Based on a wide range of sources, this article explores the aims, methods, and evolution of Romanian occupation policy in southwestern Ukraine and the local non-Jewish population’s reactions to it. It shows that the policy was more oppressive than is usually assumed and that it resulted in a substantial deterioration of relations between occupiers and occupied, especially in the countryside

An Important New Document on the Romanian Policy of Ethnic Cleansing during World War II
A newly discovered plan approved by Romanian dictator Ion Antonescu in December 1942 anticipated massive population transfers on Romanian territory. The following reconstructs its context to show how it and other recently discovered plans related to the Antonescu regime's calculations on the outcome of World War II and priorities for postwar arrangements. The article argues that the existence of such population transfer proposals necessitates a s…
Model Province”
Romanian war-time policy towards Jews presents a paradox. In the summer and fall of 1941 Romanian military and police were killing the Jews of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina indiscriminately. In late fall of the same year, those Jews who survived the first wave of killings were forcibly deported further to the east—this time not only from Bessarabia and the northern part of Bukovina but from the whole of the latter's province. In the late fall …

From Silence to Justification
The Holocaust was one of the major experiences of the populations, both Jewish and non-Jewish, of those European countries that were either part of the Axis or occupied by Nazi Germany. This was certainly the case for the inhabitants of Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina, and Transnistria. These regions remained under Romanian administration from June/July 1941 to spring/summer 1944. The Soviets had seized Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina from Romania…
