- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains 11 registers from the Şimleu Silvaniei Hungarian-language state school, covering the years 1940–48 and including the following information for each pupil: name, birthdate, birthplace, religion, nationality, date of vaccination, name, residence and profession of parents, examination results by subject and graduation status (graduates or repeats the grade). The language of study being Hungarian, most of the students are Hungarian. There are considerably fewer Jewish pupils than in the prewar period, as the Hungarian administration strictly limited the number of Jewish students admitted to state educational institutions from 1940–44, and almost all of Şimleu Silvaniei’s Jewish population was deported to Auschwitz in 1944, with less than 15% surviving.
- Archival history:
- The inventoried fonds is preserved in the Romanian National Archives, Directorate of Sălaj County.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Şimleu Silvaniei Hungarian-language state school functioned from 1940–44 under the Hungarian administration of Northern Transylvania in accordance with the Hungarian education law, including strict restrictions on the admission of Jewish pupils to state educational institutions. After 1945, the school continued under the reinstated Romanian administration, which compelled Romanian-language study in every school. The school remained open until the communist education reforms of 1948.
