Czernowitzers... Dr. Mariana Hausleitner informs us about a very interesting article published last year by Dr. Ionut Biliuta, Romanian Academy, Human and Social Research Institute "Gheorghe Sincai" - Targu Mures. Dr. Ionut Biliuta's main academic interests are the history of the Orthodox Church in the 20th century, with a special emphasis on the Romanian and Greek Orthodox Churches, antisemitism and racism in modern Orthodox theology, fascism and Orthodox clergymen, transferability of various languages of knowledge between Western and Eastern Europe in the late 19th and the first half of the 20th century, the survival of fascist ideas in Orthodox post-Communist milieus, and fascist hagiographies.
http://hauster.de/data/OrthodoxTransnistria.pdf ABSTRACT: «The violent behavior of fascist Orthodox clerics serving in the Transnistrian Orthodox Mission during World War II contributed to the “Romanianization” of Transnistria initi- ated by the Antonescu government in 1941. These churchmen stand out as bystanders, beneficiaries, and even perpetrators of the Holocaust. Subscribing to the antisemitic programs of the outlawed Iron Guard and of the Antonescu government, these men took an active part in exploiting, robbing, and even murdering both local Jews and other deportees from Bessarabia, Bucovina, and elsewhere in Romania. They illustrate both the suffusion of fascist ideology into all sectors of Romanian society and the role of clergy at every level.» Best wishes to all of you and a happy and healthy New Year 2022!
