Ibid., p. 12<br />
Ibid. The cinical descripti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> situati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Jews in Basserabia can be found in a number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
articles. See, for example: C. Mir<strong>on</strong>escu, “Bolsevicii indemnau la desfriu tineretul din Basarabia,”<br />
Curentul,, vol. 14, no. 4843, August 10, 1941, pp. 1, 4.<br />
Apud “Noul regim al evreilor din intreg cuprinsul Bucovinei,” Universul, vol. 58, no. 211, August 7,<br />
1941, p. 7.<br />
For example “5 comunisti care pregateau acte de sabotaj au fost c<strong>on</strong>damnati la moarte si executati,”<br />
Viata, vol. 1, no. 223, November 11, 1941, p. 6. The article presents <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> arrest, <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2nd <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> November,<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a group <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> six individuals, labeled as “comunists” who “were planning acts <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sabbtoage” out <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
which five were <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Jewish origin (Paneth Francisc, Paneth Lili, Moses Francisc, Kornhauser Adalbert si<br />
Iosipovici Ada) and <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> hungarian origin (Naghy Elisabeta), <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir sentencing to death by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Martial Court <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Millitary Command <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Bucharest three days later and <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir executi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> 7-th <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
November 1941. O<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs were victims <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> enforcement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> “Law <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sabbotage and ilicit activities”,<br />
which was directed at Jewish commercial workers.<br />

(November 18, 1941), p.3.<br />
D. Goebbels, “Razboiul si evreii,” Viata, vol. 3, no. 738, May 10, 1943, p. 3 (copyed from Das<br />
Reich). The same points <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> view were sustained by o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r German or Italian <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ficials and promptly<br />
publicized in Romania. “ The war was started by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Jews, […] <strong>on</strong>ly <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> distructive hatred <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Jewish<br />
instinct has started this war against creative Europe” – stated <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> chief <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> press from nazi Germany<br />
(see “Alianta plutocratiei si bolsevismului tinde la nimicirea Europei. Discursul d-lui dr. Dietrich la<br />
C<strong>on</strong>gresul ziaristilor europeni,” Viata, vol. 3, no. 786, June 28, 1943, p. 8). His aide said <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same thing:<br />
“The Jew is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> enemy <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> all peoples. […] Judaism has been <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> cause <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this war, whose moving element<br />
it still is.” (see “Vice-seful presei Reichului despre problema evreiasca,” Universul, vol. 60, no. 276,<br />
October 9, 1943, p. 7). Also from fascist Italy <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same stereotype cam towards Romania: “The war<br />
waged by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Axis is thus revealed as a fight for freedom from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> yoke <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> banks and judaism” (see<br />
