Abstract

This research paper presents some stereotypes prevalent among the Tomanians from Banat during the First World War, based on the written press from the region. The depiction of the Jews was reinforced by the statement that in Banat (then still in Hungary), Jews identified themselves as Hungarians and, as a result, they were the Romanians' "oppressor enemies". The paper describes how antisemitism gained new arguments among the Romanians during the world conflagration, once they came into contact with Jews from the East (from today's Ukraine). After the end of the conflict, with the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the circumstances of the disappearance of any authority, a great many brutalities occurred in Banat against those considered representatives of the Hungarian State. The paper enumerates violent acts directed against the Jewish population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
