This file contains correspondence and orders regarding the loss of citizenship applied to various residents of interwar Romania. Sometimes citizenship was revoked because the individual had adopted the citizenship of another country, sometimes citizenship was revoked on political grounds. For example, in 1941, Romanian citizenship was revoked from all peoples in northern Bukovina and Bessarabia except for those of ”Romanian blood.” Of particular interest is a chart of individuals who chose to return to northern Bukovina and Bessarabia after June 1940 (when the Soviets took power there). The chart contains almost 200 names, most of whom are Jewish, and lists their date of birth, ethnicity, place to which they intend to return, and identity card numbers. All of the individuals ere from Cernăuți (Czernowitz) or other towns and villages within northern Bukovina. Though most are Jewish, there are also substantial Ukrainians and some Poles, Russians, and Romanians.
This collection was maintained by the police authorities until it was acquired by the National Archives during the communist period.
