The collection includes the paperwork and material collected by the Suceava 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. At the time of the JBAT survey (2015), the inventory for this collection was accesible only at the physical location of the CNSAS and only in digital form on the computers of the CNSAS reading room. The inventory provided no indication as to the linear extent of the collection and gave no additional details as to its history, content, or the number of pages in individual folders. The collection is large, over 1,000 files, and as such there are many hundreds of folders which are obliquely titled and may contain reference to Jewish residents, for example folders titled as dealing with religious issues or the nationality of residents or folders regarding the monitoring of individuals with relatives in the United States, of tourists in the region or of Romanians with ties to foreigners. It was beyond the scope of the present survey to inspect the contents of all such folders. There are, however, a number of folders with titles specifically referencing the Jewish content. Several of these contain material related to specific Jewish communities; others regard surveillance carried out in Jewish communities or on persons hoping to emigrate. For details on these folders and others with material clearly related to the Jewish population, please click on the link(s) below.

This folder contains lists created by the county office of Timiș-Torontal of Jewish men. The lists appear to be of men from whom papers of some sort have been taken away - perhaps papers authorizing them to work or run a business. They are ambiguously titled "lists of restituted files". Four lists are of owners, one of salaried employees and one of free professionals. The lists themselves contain only the file/folder number, name and address of the respective individual.

The forms contain the names of the household members, including relation to the head of the household, age, occupation, and various permit or authoritization numbers. The address, date, signature are also included. Please note that while there are almost 400 such forms, many tens of thousands of Jews lived in Cernăuți throughout the war so these forms only contain the names of a fraction of the Jewish population.
