Biographical History

These were county organs of Romanian executive power that functioned from 1941-44 in the occupied territory included in the newly-created Governorate of Transnistria ; they were headed by prefects subordinate to the civilian governor of Transnistria, and in turn held jurisdiction over district preturas , village and city primarias , and other institutions located within their respective counties, including gendarmeries and police departments.

Scope and Content

The fond’s inventories are systematized according to the structural-chronological principle. Included are orders, circulars, and instructions of the Governorate of Transnistria and the Romanian Army command, and correspondence with various institutions on restrictive measures regarding Jews and their conscription in forced labor. Among these are: correspondence with the Directorate of Labor and the Governorate gendarmerie on using Jews and POWs at work sites, and on payment for the labor of Jewish doctors and pharmacists (f. R-2357, 1943-44); etc. A considerable portion of the documents consists of lists of the Jewish population, including of Jews working in the prefecture and preturas of Balta county and receiving a salary by order of the Governorate (f. R-2357, 1942-43);
