This collection consists of correspondence, documents, meeting minutes, and other papers from the Siret community dating from the end of the Second World War and the years thereafter. Much of these materials pertains to the reestablishment and rebuilding of community institutions, like schools and religious facilities. Owing to the prevailing conditions of this period, a substantial amount of the documents pertains to the administration and distribution of food, medical, and housing assistance for community members, many of whom were interned in camps or otherwise displaced during the war. A significant amount of correspondence concerning the restitution of property and other assets, both of the community and of its members, is also present, as well as requests to civil authorities for records and amendments to records. Several files also revolve around the day-to-day functioning of the community and its institutions, including a substantial amount of documents concerning the budget and contributions from community members. Some materials also concern memorial efforts, including the erection of a monument to the murdered Jews of Zaharești and the planting of trees. Please note that at the time of this survey (2013), the collection was closed for microfilming and thus this description is based on an inventory and not consultation of the original documents.
