Narrative
A Jewish community was present in Rădăuţi before the Habsburg takeover.
Many Jews fleeing the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria (as well as other Habsburg areas) from persecution and anti-Semitism during the Middle Ages settled in Rădăuţi.
The community was allowed a degree of self-administration, and witnessed a period of prosperity during the 19th century.
The majority of Rădăuţi's Jewish population was exterminated during the Holocaust.
Around 1938, persecutions became widespread; Jews were attacked under the Octavian Goga government; they were confirmed by anti-Semitic legislation passed by the Ion Gigurtu cabinet, and, in late 1940, exceptionally violent attacks occured following the establishment of the National Legionary State.
In October 1941, all Jews in Rădăuţi (more than 10,000) were deported to concentration camps in Transnistria.
