It is no wonder!
As one of the Axis powers , Romania took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union in July 1941. Shortly thereafter began the systematic extermination of Jews by the Romanian authorities, the concerned mainly the Jews in Bessarabia and Bukovina, territories that Romania had closed after the First World War. The mass deportations to Transnistria , a territory annexed by Romania between Dniester and Bug started in autumn 1941. The final report of the Wiesel Commission , the international body that the Holocaust has studied in Romania, shows that in the period 1941 - died 1944 in Transnistria 280000-380000 people through executions, starvation and disease.
Moghilev -Podolsk was a transit camp for the deported Jews, and here took Jägendorf Siegfried, a former director of Siemens-Schuckert Czernowitz, the leadership of a dilapidated and war-stricken old foundry. Quickly he was able, together with his Jewish colleagues, the old machines back to set in motion and ensure the power supply to the city. He has earned the respect of the Romanian occupation authorities, is to an existentially important employer for many persecuted and endangered people and has become, thereby securing the support of the Jewish community locally. But he has also, as state title and subtitle of the book, "The Miracle of Moghilev" causes and "The rescue of ten thousand Jews before the Romanian Holocaust" is reached? To put it clearly and unequivocally: This book is important and true, but these statements are shooting in the face of evidence presented beyond the target.
Jägendorf moved - whether consciously or not - in the conflict between collaboration and a very limited self-government and advocacy for the deportees. Logical advised the commentators and readers of his memoirs in a similar predicament. Ultimately, it is not important to evaluate its actions, but it is important to establish what has really happened in Transnistria in the years 1941-1944. This we learn in this book, however, too little, even if the evidence of the whereabouts of various documents very interesting. This is a good basis for further investigation and you can safely banish the belief in miracles in the realm of religions, where it has its origins and its raison d'etre.
