It contends that the Legion put forward a palingenetic political faith of a theological type, called Legionarism.

The International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania was established in October 2003 on the initiative of Ion Iliescu, the President of Romania; this final report was presented to him in November 2004.

Diese Bibliographie ist bemuht, die einschlagigen Publikationen zum Thema Bukowina moglichst vollstandig zu erfassen. Das Land, Geologie und Geographie, Flora und Fauna, Geschichte und Statistik, Stadte und Gemeinden, Bevolkerung und Volkskunde, Bildungswesen und Kirchen, Kunst und Kultur, Wirtschaft und Biographien sind die Hauptthemen dieser Sammlung, neben sehr vielen Untergliederungen der verschiedensten Art. Auf dem Gebiet der "biographischen Arbeiten," die einen bemerkenswert grossen Anteil der Titel umfassen, soll eine brauchbare Grundlage geschaffen werden fur ein immer noch fehlendes, deutschsprachiges biographisches Lexikon der Bukowina. Hilfreich ist diese bibliographische Sammlung vor allem auch auf Gebieten, die bislang noch nicht grundlegend und wissenschaftlich behandelt wurden, wie z.B. der Wirtschaftsgeschichte.
