Abstract: (En) My paper discusses the history of the Cluj Branch of the Jewish Democratic Committee from its creation in October 1944 to 1947. The main aim of my research is to identify the forms and methods of the Romanian dictatorial regime meant to manipulate and direct the Jewry. It also helps us understand the structure and working of the Jewish organization in question, the nature of its social work carried out in the Jewish community. The activity of the Cluj Jewish Democratic Committee has received little attention from students of communism. Therefore, my main objective is to provide a more general picture based on archival material, contemporary media, and thus present new results in the study of the relationship betweenRomanian communism and Jewry.
