Postwar reparatory justice and restitution in Romania

Review by Anca Filipovici
Wilhelm Filderman of the Union of Romanian Jews and Bucharest Chief Rabbi Alexandru Șafran in 1945, seated together in front of an ornate patterned wall.
In Justice and Restitution in Post-Nazi Romania (Cambridge University Press, 2025), Stefan Cristian Ionescu examines the postwar treatment of Romanian Jewish survivors and the reasons so many survivors emigrated from Romania. Anca Filipovici writes that Holocaust scholars and the wider public gain a groundbreaking volume on a topic long overdue for exploration.
