Nuremberg Laws in Ion Antonescu Regime. Compulsory Community Service

In December 1940, the Law-Decree no. 3 984 set out the military status of Jews. Practically, all Jews in Romania were excluded from the military service. The meaning of this political measure was extremely powerful for the destiny of the Jewish community. As the Law text provisioned, it was a political and legislative decision continuing that regarding the racial definition of Jews. The direct consequence was the socio-political marginalization, on ethnic criteria, of a group of men.
