Title The Jewish educational system in Romania during World War II (1940-1944).
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 20 (1990) 313-336
Description In October 1940 all Jewish students were banned from Romanian educational institutions and Jewish teachers were not allowed to teach in Romanian schools. The Jewish community reorganized its educational system, establishing communal and private schools, and four colleges in Bucharest. Hebrew education in wartime was strengthened due to the efforts of the Romanian Zionist organization, headed by Moshe Benvenisti, until early 1944 when Zionist leaders and Hebrew teachers were arrested. A number of pupils and teachers were attacked or murdered by Iron Guard supporters
others were deported to Transnistria. Gives figures on Jewish education in Czernowitz and in the ghettos of Transnistria. Explains the existence of this unique Jewish education network by the lobbying efforts of Jewish leaders, such as W. Filderman and Rabbi A. Şafran, and by the opportunism of Antonescu and other Romanian leaders who were interested in avoiding a complete rupture with Western countries.

Appeared in Hebrew in "Yad Vashem" 20, 1990.
