Book excerpt: A history of the Jews in the Romanian part of Banat and in the adjacent city of Arad. Pp. 23-36 deal with the "Judenordnung" concerning the Jews of Banat issued in 1776 by the Austrian Empire's governor in Banat; the ordinance contained some oppressive anti-Jewish provisions. Pp. 131-159 describe anti-Jewish policies under the regime of King Carol II (1930-40) and during the Antonescu dictatorship (1940-44). The anti-Jewish laws of the Antonescu period were a continuation of the old nationalist policies of the 1920s-30s. Reports on the impact of the anti-Jewish laws of 1938-40 on Banat and Arad. Describes the activities of Baron Franz von Neumann of Arad, an industrialist who tried to withstand the Romanization policy in his factories and is credited for bribing Romanian authorities in 1942 to thwart an impending deportation of Jews. The oppressive policies of the postwar communist rulers of Romania were mainly the same for Jews and non-Jews.
