- Scope and content:
- This collection contains records created by the police department of Solca during the late interwar period and World War II. Of interest to those researching regional Jewish history may be numerous folders concerning papers related to "suspected" individuals or "foreigners". Many of these were Jews fleeing war zones to the north and local Jews whose Romanian citizenship had been revoked through antisemitic legislation in 1938 or who had never claimed Romanian citizenship in the first place and were regarded as Austrian foreigners. There is also one folder titled property taken from Jews, though the contents primarily concern other matters. For details, see the entry for this collection at http://jbat.lbi.org/, subfield ‘contains’, and click on any title.
