The book centers on debates about the Romanian national character and race between 1880s and 1950s. It also argues that during the early 1940s anti-Semitism and anti-Roma racism contributed directly to the programme of ethnic purification pursued by the Antonescu regime. This book is the first comprehensive overview of debates about national character and race in modern Romania. It also argues that the Holocaust in Romania should be understood as the result not just of anti-Semitism but also of biopolitical nationalism. Finally, the book suggests that the eugenic ideal of the ‘perfect’ Romanian did not disappear at the end of the Second World War, but was embedded in the socialist definitions of the ‘new man/woman’ emerging under communism.
