- Scope and content:
- The collection includes the paperwork and material collected by the Hunedoara county Securitate (Romanian Communist Secret Police) offices under communism. The material includes select folders from the pre-communist period; these folders were presumably in the possession of the police and seized by the Securitate at some point in time. The collection is large, over 500 files, and as such there are many folders which are obliquely titled and may contain reference to Jewish residents, for example folders related to emigration, which are listed below. Additionally, as in all the collections of the Securitate, there are numerous folders on legionnaire activity and members, including reports on members even up until the 1980s. Some of these folders may also contain information on antisemitic outbreaks or incidents but are generally not described as containing such. It was beyond the scope of the present survey to inspect the contents of all such folders mentioned above which have the possibility of containing relevant or contingently relevant information. For more information on folders related to emigration requests or "repatriates" (used often, but not always, to refer to Jews who were deported to Transnistria), please refer to the Leo Baeck Institute's JBAT website.
