Scope and Content: Please note the files were sorted post-processing by date for the purposes of the present finding aid, thus the list below is chronological but does not reflect folder order within a box. Please read carefully box and folder indications to locate the respective folder. Please also see Series V, containing files selected at an earlier point in time by an individual within the Cluj Jewish community and deemed to be of particular relevance. This series contains a variety of information generally created by the school administrators. There is significant paperwork related to the budget and school staff, but also to pupil enrollment and relations with the governmental schooling authorities. The majority of the material is from the immediate postwar years (1945-1948) and may be very useful to scholars studying the reestablishment of Jewish community institutes, relationships with the non-Jewish authorities following the war, and tensions within communities of survivors. |

Scope and Content: At some point in time in the post-war period, probably after 1990 and definitely prior to 2016, a member of the Cluj community sorted through the communal archival material and made selections of what he determined to be articles of particular interest. These were at one time removed to his private residence and later returned to the community. LBI archivists decided to leave this material as a separate series since it would have been complicated and speculative to insert it into the other series created before we were aware of the existence of this material. The material is also, thus, a selection of what one individual deemed to be particularly significant for the history of the Cluj Jewish community.
