One source of continued instability in Romania was Corneliu Zelea Codreanu’s pro-Nazi Legiunea Arhanghelului Mihail and its paramilitary wing, the Garda de Fier (Iron Guard). The Legionaires, as they were commonly known, operated much like the German Nazi Party’s Sturmabteilung in the 1920s and early 1930s. After the government banned it and other paramilitary groups in 1933, Codreanu transformed the league into a viable political party that garnered almost 16 percent of the popular vote in 1937 elections as part of the rightist coalition with Totul Pentru Tara (Everything for the Fatherlan...

1843/present

In 1843, Henry Jones and 11 other German-Jewish immigrants gathered in Sinsheimer's Café on New York's Lower East Side to confront what Isaac Rosenbourg, one of B'nai B'rith's founders, called "the deplorable condition of Jews in this, our newly adopted country." Thus, B'nai B'rith (children of the covenant) was born. B'nai B'rith involvement in international affairs dates to the 1870s when anti-Semitism reached new heights in Romania. Through the influence of B'nai B'rith, the U.S. government established a consulate there, and a former B'nai B'rith president, Benjamin Peixotto, was appoint...

1927/1943

The Nationalsozialistische Lehrerbund was established as a wing of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in 1927. After 1933, the Nazi regime purged the public school system of teachers deemed to be Jews or to be 'politically unreliable'. Most educators, however, remained in their posts and joined the Nationalsozialistischer Lehrerbund. 97% of all public school teachers, some 300,000 persons, had joined the Lehrerbund by 1936. In fact, teachers joined the Nationalsozialistischer Lehrerbund in greater numbers than any other profession.
