ROMANIAN JEWS COLLECT FUNDS FOR THEIR DEPORTED FELLOWS
Pair of related Romanian documents showing the support of deported Transnistrian (Romanian) Jews offered by those who remained alive behind them. Included is a typed D.S., 1p. 4to., Sighisoara, Mar. 3, 1943 signed by Jewish finance administrators "E. Mozes" and "E. Feiner" listing the names of 28 Jews in the town and the amounts contributed by them. A second document, 1p. oblong 8vo., Sighisoarea, Mar. 4, 1943 is sent by Mozes and another official to the Central Jewish County Office and apparently showing totals accumulated for the region. File holes and paperclip stains, else very good. Transnistria was the center of some of the worst depredations during the War. Romania occupied this portion of USSR in 1941 and officially annexed it in 1942. Over 200,000 Roma citizens and Jews fell victim; the deportees died of starvation and exposure in de facto concentration camps, with thousands of others simply massacred in raids by Romanian troops - one of the more notorious being the week-long shootings in the Bagdanoka ghetto that left 30,000 dead. File holes at left, very good condition.
