Jewish Resistance to Romanianization, 1940–44 by Stefan Cristian Ionescu (review)

quantitative research. His nuanced discussion of survivor testimonies as primary sources should have come at the beginning of the book, though. These provide only a small subset of the actual life stories of people living through the violence, and they over-represent survival and willingness to share, something that should be on the reader’s mind throughout the book. Finkel’s ambitious study brings political science to Holocaust history, enriches our understanding of individual choices by the victims, sheds light on the conditions that influenced their decisions, and establishes patterns by comparative analysis of behavior in three ghettos. Finkel identifies as factors prewar activism, the intensity of prewar repression Jews experienced, the level of integration into non-Jewish society, and the ethnic composition of their social networks. Ordinary Jews invites more comparative local or community-based study as part of the recent productive trend in Holocaust micro-historical research.
