The fonds’ inventories are systematized according to the structural-chronological principle. Included are directives, instructions, and orders of the Romanian civilian and military authorities on restrictive measures regarding Jews located in the territory of Transnistria. A significant number of documents concern Jews located in ghettos and labor camps. Documents of the Romanian authorities regarding the conscription of Jews into forced labor include copies of orders of the governor and official correspondence with prefectures and preturas on procedures for the payment of Jewish labor (f. R-2381, 1943); resolutions of the governor of Transnistria and correspondence with prefectures and gendarmerie posts on using local Jews and Jewish deportees in Transnistria as specialists (doctors, bookkeepers, workers) in institutions, enterprises, and factories in Transnistria, with the exception of Odessa (f. R-2365, f. R-2377, f. R-2381, 1942-43); a list of Jews deported to Transnistria and sought by the Geneva Red Cross (f. R-2381, 1943). These were district organs of the Romanian executive power that functioned from 1941to 1944 in the occupied territory including the newly-created Governorate of Transnistria. They were headed by praetors and subordinated to their respective county prefectures; and in turn held jurisdiction over village and city primarias. The preturas’ functions included, among other things, the organizing of ghettos.
