This collection consists exclusively of immatriculation logs and class register books from the years 1927-1948. It appears the school was founded in 1927 with one class as each subsequent year the registers increase by one grade level. It was a four-grade school until 1940 after which it expanded to eight grades during the war period. The inventory created by the National Archives provides no information regarding the history of the school or the papers; presumably the school closed down in 1947 in the wake of education reform legislation.

This collection represents a fairly complete set of documents created by the one of the Jewish boys lycees of Timișoara. The collection contains comprehensive immatriculation and grade registers as well as a wide range of administrative material. This includes miscellaneous correspondence with authorities; teaching staff papers; logs of incoming and outgoing correspondence; exams; and graduation certificates. The material is uninterrupted from 1922 through to the schools presumable closure in 1947 in the wake of an education reform. As such it represents a unique perspective on Jewish education and identity in the Banat from the immediate post-WWI period throughout the interwar years and World War II. Unfortunately the inventory created by the National Archives provides no details on the school's background, for example whether it existed prior to 1919 and its relation to the other Jewish schools in Timișoara.

This collection represents a remarkably complete set of documents created by the one of the Jewish boys lycees of Timișoara. Unfortunately the current inventory created by the National Archives appears to be in need of revision as numerous items are crossed out or marked with the note "see nr. XYZ" and as such it is difficult to get a clear overview of the full contents of the collection. Nevertheless, the collection appears to contain comprehensive immatriculation and grade registers as well as a wide range of administrative material. This includes correspondence with authorities; teaching staff papers; logs of incoming and outgoing correspondence; minutes of staff meetings; exams; and graduation certificates. Included in the folders of correspondence is material specifically related to the association of Jewish teachers of the Banat and Transylvania and correspondence from the union of Jewish communities [of Transylvania and the Banat?]. There is also a folder related to passive defense dated to World War II. The material is uninterrupted from 1919 through to the schools presumable closure in 1948 in the wake of an education reform. As such it represents a unique perspective on Jewish education and identity in the Banat from the immediate post-WWI period throughout the interwar years and World War II. Unfortunately the inventory created by the National Archives provides no details on the school's background, for example whether it existed prior to 1919 and its relation to the other Jewish schools in Timișoara.

This collection contains administrative correspondence and records regarding the management and maintenance of the school and the development of the curriculum and the staff. Some of the documents, such as item nr. 2/1904, indicate the presence of Jewish teaching staff in the district, and elsewhere there is evidence of a marked Jewish presence in the student body, as in item nr. 15/1925. For details on these records, please see the links below.

This collection has four inventories. The first inventory, nr. 171, lists 279 items which for the most part are of an administrative nature or class newspapers. There are also a few class registers and various other registers which mostly refer to staff affairs. A student register book from the 1930s shows many Jews attending the school, alongside Romanian and Hungarians. Of particular interest amongst the items in this inventory are those administrative documents from the interwar period and especially following World War I in which nation-building and Romanianization measures are discussed. The second inventory, nr. 996, lists 155 items. The majority are class immatriculation registers and grade books, though there is also meeting minutes and budgetary and administrative paperwork. This inventory contains papers dating 1919-1948. The third inventory, nr. 1359, contains 26 items, dating 1920-1940. Of particular interest here are the annual school reports, which exist from 1920-1935, and which contain breakdowns of the student body by ethnicity and religion. In 1927, for example, Jews made up 25% of the student body. The other items in this inventory are administrative in nature. Finally, inventory nr. 1442, contains 16 items, dating from 1914-1941. The items in this inventory belonged to the former director of the school, Valeriu Boeriu. They consist primarily of personal momentos, photographs, manuscripts, and other items related to Boeriu's period as director (1914-1941).

According to the records, this school was attended by some Jewish students, but please note that the majority of the material is from after the deportation of the Jewish community and the numbers reflect this fact. There are several class registers but the majority of the material consists of administrative instructions, reports, and memos and information on the staff. Note that the school was opened after the Second Vienna Award and much of the material likely concerns the administrative restructuring and nation-building that followed in the wake of this event.

This school, though small and in an unassuming locality, had a significant Jewish student population. Records survive only from 1918-1926 but these include class registers in which are recorded the pupils' birthdate and place, parent occupation, nationality, and religion.

This school had some Jewish students, though proportionately the reform school had more. According to the preface in the National Archives inventory for this collection, this school was opened in 1836. It remained small (with 1-2 teachers) until the second half of the 19th century when it was able to construct its own building. By this time it had classes for both boys and girls. The majority of the material is in Hungarian; beginning in the post-Trianon period some of the material is also in Romanian. Most of the items are class register books with data on the pupils' backgrounds, grades, absences, and so forth and most registers date from the 20th century, though there are 15-20 items from the 19th century. Student register books will contain birth date and place of the pupil and information on the parents' occupations, mother tongue, nationality, and religion. The school was closed in 1948 in the wake of the restructuring of the Romanian school system under communism.

This school appears to have been attended primarily by Hungarians and Jews. The Jewish proportion of the students may have reached up to 20-25% at certain periods. The school was opened in 1860 but did not become well-established, with funds necessary to construct its own building and employ sufficient teaching staff until the end of the 19th century. There are a total of 78 items in the collection, all but two of them are from the 20th century. The oldest item dates to 1893 and is a registration book. Beginning in 1909 the records are, for the most part, comprehensive and without gaps and include class registers, grade books, and curriculum registers. Sometime after 1900 the girls were taught separately from the boys. The vast majority of the material is in Hungarian, though some of the registers in the post-Trianon period are titled in Hungarian and Romanian. Record books generally include information on the pupil's birth date and place, parents, their occupations, mother tongue, residence, nationality, and religion.

There is little known about this school except that it functioned at least from 1879-1889. The collection contains immatriculation and grade registers as well as an inventory for the library. From the student body make-up, it appears that the school was very mixed, attended by Germans, Hungarians, Jews and the former were both Protestant and Catholic. At least half of the student body looks to be female. It appears to have been a private school, perhaps even an elite private school for the daughters (and some sons) of wealthy families, but that is merely speculation. The books record pupil names, their birthplaces and dates, father names and occupations, mother tongue, subjects and grades. There is no other information regarding the history of the school or even its location.

It appears from the contents of the books within this collection, that the Beregi school was originally the Jakab Wiener school (please see Jakab Wiener elementary school of Târgu Mureș collection) and became the Beregi school after 1903. This conclusion is made on the basis that the daughter of Jakab Wiener (who changed his name to Várnai) was also attending the Beregi school in 1904. Both Wiener and Beregi are the names of the respective director of the school during the time period for which there are records, so it appears that the school changed names with its director. This school was a Jewish school, that is attended exclusively by Jewish children. It had six grades and was attended by boys and girls. The collection contains 9 register books for the school years 1904-1913. The books record pupil names, their birthplaces and dates, father names and occupations, mother tongue, subjects and grades. There is no other information regarding the history of the school or even its location. Please note that in addition to this small, apparently private or semi-private school, the Status Quo community operated a Jewish school. See the collection Jewish Elementary School of Târgu Mureș.

The Jakab Wiener private elementary school was apparently run by Jakab Wiener himself. Over the course of the 10 years for which there are records from this school, he had his named Magyarized to Jakab Várnai. This school was clearly a Jewish school, that is, attended exclusively by Jewish students according to the extant record books. The collection contains 5 register books which record pupil names, their birthplaces and dates, father names and occupations, mother tongue, subjects and grades. There is no other information regarding the history of the school or even its location. It appears that the school became the Beregi elementary school after 1903. Please see the collection Beregi elementary school of Târgu Mureș. Please note that in addition to this small, apparently private or semi-private school, the Status Quo community operated a Jewish school. See the collection Jewish Elementary School of Târgu Mureș.

This collection contains comprehensive material from the main Catholic school in Târgu Mureș. In general, it appears that Jewish students were more likely to attend the Protestant schools, but one finds Jewish pupils in these records occasionally. The collection begins with papers from the mid-late 18th century, primarily dealing with administrative matters, ie contracts, rental agreements, decrees, lists of students. Beginning in the 19th century, there are fairly consistent immatriculation registers as well as folders containing correspondence on school affairs. Inventories of furnishings and libraries begin to appear consistently. By the 1870s, there are approximately 10 folders per year, containing meeting minutes of the school staff, statistical information, correspondence, immatriculation records, staff instructions, budget documents, and other miscellaneous papers. At the end of the inventory there are several items not related to this school, they contain diploma certificates from a school in Miercurea Ciuc, Târgu Secuiesc, and from the Școala Normală in Târgu Mureș (School of Education). These items date from 1929-1940.

This collection contains papers created by the Jewish Democratic Committee for the county of Mureș and town of Târgu Mureș and for the local branch of Reghin. The folders contain meeting minutes, reports, surveys, and other written material. It is not clear how the county of Mureș differed from the region of Mureș (there is also a collection for the Regional Jewish Democratic Committee for Mureș). The committee had a wide range of responsibilities, surpassing basic political tasks. The reports and meetings record decisions about secular and religious holidays, the Jewish school, teachers, emigration matters, unresolved events (missing persons) from World War II, religious staff (butcher, teachers), cultural events, and general happenings in community life. There are surveys on the community, including data on community numbers, language, occupations, and so forth. There are reports on the receptiveness to communist ideology versus Zionism and specific numbers are given for those who have requested to emigrate. There may also be speeches made by the leadership on holidays or for other gatherings. The collection may be of interest to those studying Jewish life in the immediate post-war period and especially those looking at questions of identity, Zionism, and Jewish roles in early communist Romania.

The Medias Jewish Community Collection contains material spanning the life of the community, with documents dating from the late 19th century until the end of the communist era as well as general administrative paperwork into the 1990s (when the community, for all intents and purposes, no longer existed). The bulk of the material is from the mid-20th century (1940s-1970s) and of administrative or financial nature. Several extensive items of particular historic significance have been digitized and are available below in Series III: the 500-page book of meeting minutes covering board member and community meetings from 1930-1947 (Box OS21); hundreds of registration forms created by the Jewish Council (Centrala Evreilor) during the war which recorded an individual's family background up to the grandparents (names, birthplaces and date) (Box OS18 and OS19); the burial registry with details on tombstone location, date (and sometimes cause) of death and accompanying index of names (OS13); and the cemetery map (last item in Series III). The original statutes of the community, in Hungarian from 1894, as well as later German and Romanian versions, are also digitized and can be found in Series V (SD2/folder 2). The material in this collection may be of interest to those researching Jewish life, identity, and culture in southern Transylvania before and during World War II and Jewish life under the Romanian communist government. For additional details on the contents of each series, please see the comprehensive container list below. The collection is arranged by series and chronologically within each series.

This collection contains six items from a secondary school in Czernowitz which existed at least from the 1850s to the interwar period. The school appears to have changed names several times over the years. Until the interwar period, Jewish students made up a significant portion of the student body. During World War II many documents from northern Bukovina were "evacuated" to southern Bukovina or elsewhere in Romania. This evacuation of documents was often incomplete and many documents have gone missing, which may explain how this collection ended up in Suceava and why it is so small, given that the dates span nearly a century. It is possible that other records for this school are held in archival repositories in Chernivtsi or even elsewhere in Romania. Please see below for details on the six items within this collection.

This manuscript can be found within the collection of the Rădăuți Girls School Nr. 2. Though not specifically referring to the Jewish population it offers a fascinating reflection of the shifting realities in Rădăuți from the pre-World War I period until the end of the 1930s. Written more as a diary, it records events affecting the school including the breakout of World War I, epidemics, and Romania's unification. There are also pages with the signatures of pupils in each class. It appears to have been attended exclusively by Romanians and thus, if it really was part of school Nr. 2 (and was not miscatalogued), then it must have functioned in some way as a separate body as the other records from this school demonstrate a diverse student body. More likely, it was part of school Nr. 1 and was miscatalogued in the Nr. 2 collection

This manuscript was created in 1883/1884 on the occasion of the 100th year anniversary of the German school in Suceava. Affixed to the first page is a booklet printed for the anniversary celebration. It recounts the festive events held for the anniversary and reprints the speech made by the school director, Michael Schwetz. This speech describes in some detail the founding of the school in 1784. Prior to this date there had been a small Romanian-Orthodox school and an Armenian-Orthodox school which trained the children mainly in religion. These schools were incorporated into the Stadtschule (city school) building, as it was called when it first opened, but they still operated separately, especially in terms of language of instruction. In 1815 a new building was constructed and new teachers were brought in, including, according to Schwetz ”a Jewish teacher for the Jewish children.” Later the Romanian-Orthodox school dissolved entirely and the students were incorporated into the German school. The Armenian-Orthodox school, on the other hand, separated and continued its classes in a different building as a private school. Schwetz then recalls various teachers over the years and also describes the high regard in which the school was held in the eyes of the entire southern Bukovina region. After Schwetz's speech a Romanian pupil wearing the national folk costume recited a poem praising the Habsburgs and other ceremonies honoring Maria Theresa, Josef I, and Franz Josef were held with poems being recited by four boys: a Romanian, Pole, German, and Armenian. The last page of the booklet is a fold-out page listing the names and religion of all the directors, teachers, and assistant teachers employed by the school from 1774-1884. Up until this time the staff was mostly German and Polish, though there are also Romanian, Armenian, and Jewish names. The booklet is available in full on this website. The handwritten part of the manuscript was probably recorded by the respective school director and reports on the ethnic make-up of the student body for each year, lists teachers, events in school life, and political events. The last pages of the book are set up as a staff register (not comprehensive) which includes the vital information for the teacher, their education, training, and past experience.

The German school of Suceava was founded in 1784. The earliest archival records for the school date from 1883 when, on the occasion of the school's 100th anniversary, a ”school chronicle” book was started which gave the history of the school and recorded events affecting the school as they occurred (this Schul-Chronik is listed in our catalog as a separate item). The next items in the collection are individual class registers from 1894. Beginning with 1900 there are class registers for every year, though there are some gaps in the grades. By the turn of the 20th century, the school had a significant Jewish student body, in general it was attended primarily by German and Jewish boys. So, for example, in 1915 one first grade class had 61 students, of whom 26 were Jewish, 23 were Roman-Catholic, 7 were Greek-Catholic (Eastern Catholic), 4 were Protestant and 1 was Romanian-Orthodox. Of these 53 claimed German as their mother tongue (all the Jewish, Protestant, and most of the Catholic students plus, unusually, the one Romanian Orthodox pupil), 5 Ruthenian (Ukrainian), and 3 Polish. The other first grade class also had 61 students, of whom 27 were Catholic, 26 were Jewish, 5 were Eastern Catholic, and 3 were Protestant. Of these 56 claimed German as their mother tongue, 1 Ruthenian, and 4 Polish. The school was closed in the 1920s as a result of the Romanization measures introduced by the Romanian government.

This trade school has records spanning 20 years. The records are primarily class register books or the main register book for the entire school. One of these school-wide register books (1928) contains only girls names, but it is unclear whether the school was exclusively a girls school or whether the boys register book for that year was lost. The school was attended by Romanian, German, and Jewish students. The registry records a student's name, birth date and place, parents' names, nationalities, and religion, elementary school attended by the student, whether and when they received vaccinations, town of residence, and grades.

From the register book of 1923-1926, it appears that the majority of the students attending this school were Jewish. The registry records a student's name, birth date and place, parents' names, nationalities, and religion, elementary school attended by the student, whether and when they received vaccinations, town of residence, and grades. The collection contains such class register books for most years, as well as files pertaining to the school staff, reports and minutes of school inspections, and other related correspondence and statistical charts.

This school appears to have originally been the a boys elementary school in Cernăuți (Czernowitz, Chernivtsi) and at some point in time during or after World War II it was relocated to Siret. The collection primarily contains minutes of the staff meetings but it also has other registers and files regarding school finances, accounts, and class catalogs. The minutes of meetings (procese verbale) recorded during the war period are potentially of interest.

The German-language elementary school in Ițcani was functioning prior to 1892 but there is no information about when exactly it was founded. It appears to have been only 1st and 2nd grade. In 1906 the school was closed and the students moved to schools in Suceava. This collection is small and constists of class catalogs for 1892, 1893, and 1895, as well as lesson plans for 1892 and 1894. The class catalogs record the typical information including student's name, birth place and date, religion, father's name and occupation and home address (sometimes), absences, and grades. The school was attended by German, Jewish, and Romanian girls and boys.

The Iacobeni school collection contains just one item, a manuscript describing the development of the Romanian school, which opened in 1871. Prior to that German language schools had existed since 1813. The manuscript deals primarily with matters of Romanian education and nationalism but also occasionally mentions the other ethnic groups in the small town. It also includes a history of the locality and records other major events affecting the community include the World Wars, unification, etc.

This collections spans 125 years and consists of many hundreds of register books or files. From 1826-1890 the collection is not complete (there are records for 1826; 1827; 1828; 1838; 1840; 1850; 1863; 1865; 1866; 1869; 1875; 1877; 1879; 1882; 1886. Beginning in 1890 there are generally class registry books for every year and every class. Whereas in 1826 the pupils did not include any Jewish families, by the 1880s they made up a considerable part of the student body alongside Germans, Poles, Romanians, and Ruthenians. In 1900 for example, one first grade class had 55 pupils of whom 24 were Jewish, 17 were Roman-Catholic, 10 were Greek-Orthodox, and 4 were Greek-Catholic (Eastern Catholic). Of these 32 claimed German as their mother-tongue, 16 Ruthenian (Ukrainian), 6 Polish, and 1 Romanian. In 1915, first grade class "A" had 78 pupils of whom 43 were Jewish, 20 were Roman-Catholic, 14 were Greek-Orthodox, and 1 was Protestant. Of these 64 claimed German as their mother-tongue and 13 Romanian. First grade class "B" had no Jewish students.

The register records name, birth date and place, language, religion, class, grades, father's name, occupation, and residence. The records are fairly complete, with the exception of World War I years, each school year generally has every individual class record or a school-wide registry book (registru metricol). In 1915 first grade class "A" consisted of 61 girls of whom 35 were Jewish, 14 were Greek-Orthodox, and 12 were Roman-Catholic. Of these 47 spoke German as their mother-tongue and 14 Ruthenian (Ukrainian). First grade "B" had 64 pupils, of whom 28 were Greek-Orthodox, 25 were Roman-Catholic, 9 were Jewish, and 2 were Protestant. Of these 37 spoke Ruthenian as their mother-tongue, 19 German, 7, Polish, and 1 Bohemian (Czech).

This collection contains record books for the third public elementary school for girls in Rădăuți. There are some gaps in the years and not all class registers exist, but nevertheless it is a fairly comprehensive collection. Prior to World War I it was attended virtually exclusively by German and Jewish girls. For example, the second grade in 1914 consisted of 94 girls, of whom 49 were Catholic, 44 were Jewish and 1 was Protestant. Of these 90 listed German as their mother tongue and 4 listed Polish. In the interwar years the classes are often broken into Romanian and German sections.

The collection contains hundreds of class registers spanning 75 years for one of the three public elementary schools for girls in Rădăuți. The collection is comprehensive with few gaps in years or class registers. It appears that the majority of the girls attending this school came from Jewish families and the others from German families. For example, one second grade class from 1918 consists of 54 pupils of whom 30 are Jewish, 19 Roman-Catholic, 2 Protestant, and 3 Greek-Catholic (Eastern-Catholic). Of these 51 claim German as their mother tongue and 3 Ruthenian (Ukrainian). The other second grade class for that year consists of 56 girls, all of whom speak German as their mother-tongue; the religious breakdown is 28 Jews, 24 Catholics, 3 Protestants, and 1 Eastern-Catholic.

This collection contains hundreds of class registers spanning a period of approximately 70 years for one of the three public elementary schools for girls in Rădăuți. The collection is quite comprehensive, there appear to be no gaps in years and few in terms of classes. Information contained in the registry books can include name and age of the pupil, father's name and occupation, address, religion, mother tongue, grades, absences, and other comments. Like Rădăuți, the school was diverse but particularly in its early years it was primarily attended by girls from German and Jewish families. After World War I the student population appears to become almost exclusively Romanian.

This collection contains comprehensive registers by class for one of the three public elementary schools for boys in Rădăuți. Though there are some missing registers, most years are complete with separate books for grades I-VI. Beginning in the 1930s, the grades are divided into German and Romanian classes. Prior to World War II, it appears that the school was primarily attended by German and Jewish families. For example, in 1918 one second grade class consisted of 49 pupils of whom 31 were Roman-Catholic, 14 were Jewish, 3 were Greek-Catholic (Eastern Catholic), and 1 was Protestant. Of these 45 claimed German as their mother tongue (all the Jews and 30 of the Roman-Catholics), 3 Ruthenian (Ukrainian), and 1 Hungarian.

This collection is for one of the three public elementrary schools for boys in Rădăuți. Reflecting the diversity of the town, the pupils come from a mixture of backgrounds, though the majority are German and Jewish. For example, in 1918 one third grade class consisted of 52 pupils of whom 32 were Jewish, 16 were Roman-Catholic, 1 was Greek-Catholic (Eastern-Catholic) and 3 were Protestant. Of these students 48 claimed German as their mother-tongue (all the Jews, 13 of the Roman-Catholics, and 3 Protestants), 2 Hungarian, and 1 each Ruthenian (Ukrainian) and Polish (picture). This collection contains only 7 record books for the years, 3 for the years 1918-1919 and 4 for the years 1919-1920.

This collection is for one of the three public elementary schools in Rădăuți. Though it is catalogued as a boys school, in the first years at least it was attended by both boys and girls. This school was primarily attended by Romanian children, but reflective of the diversity of the town, there were also German, Jewish, and Ukrainian pupils. For example in 1903 one first grade class consisted of 46 pupils of whom 23 were Romanian-Orthodox, 15 were Roman-Catholic, 3 were Greek-Catholic (Eastern Catholic), 2 were Protestant, and 3 were Jewish. Of these 25 claimed Romanian as their mother tongue, 20 German, and 1 Ruthenian (Ukrainian). In later years it appears that the school became more exclusively Romanian. The collection is fairly comprehensive with few gaps in the years or class register books.

This Romanian elementary school was founded in 1906. Originally it was attended primarily by Romanian children, but beginning in the 1920s, the German schools were closed and many Jewish children began attending this school as well. The class registers are quite comprehensive, it appears there are no gaps in years or classes. A cursory look at class registers from second grade classes in 1923 show approximately half the pupils being Jewish. Of particular interest is the register for grade II-B of 1922 which was organized as an exclusively Jewish class and is labeled as such (call number as cited plus Dosar 4/1922).

As the main German school in Siret, this school had many Jewish students and teachers. Most of the items within this large collection are student registry books. The class register books contain the customary information for Habsburg schools: student name, birth date and palce, religion, mother tongue, father name, residence, and occupation, grades, and other comments. There are also registers containing exam information and registeries for staff. The staff registeries are replete with information including the teacher's name, birth date and place, religion (including whether secular or not), studies, languages, previous experience, and other comments.

The pre-World War I register books are sometimes divided into Romanian and German school sections. The Jewish children are generally in the German school section. Information provided in the pupil registers can include pupil names, mother tongue, second language, birth date and place, residence address, name and occupation of the parents, when they entered the school, and religion.

The population of Burdujeni Târg (market) was primarily Jewish and hence these public school records contain a number of Jewish names. They are not, however, as comprehensive as the Habsburg school records and generally contain only the names of the students and their grades. There is normally no information regarding the parents names or occupations.
