Chapter 693: New Hope

The dazzling torches, the raging crowd, and the glass all over the ground made Poruman run non-stop. He wanted to escape from here, to escape this lawless world, and to find a quiet and peaceful environment.

But as if the running Boruman had caught their attention, the crowd of unsightly faces began to chase him, at first only a small number of people were chasing him, then it snowballed more and more, and finally everyone was chasing him. This frightened him to keep running, running as hard as he could.

His chest felt like it was going to be torn apart, but he didn't dare to stop. He felt extremely lonely at this moment, but he had a family and children, and he knew that he could not be caught by these people.

Suddenly, I felt my feet in the air, and I fell to the ground, and the crowd behind me immediately rushed up.

"Don't ......"

Poruman suddenly let out a loud cry and came to his senses. When he saw his wife beside him, his heart went back again.

The wife who was woken up couldn't help but ask when she saw her husband, who was blue with fright. "Poruman, you're having nightmares again?"

"Yes, I'm having nightmares again. I dreamed of being chased by a group of people who were staring at me viciously, and I could only keep running, and running, just like what happened to us last November. ”

What Poruman was referring to was the organized persecution of Jews in Germany, which became known as Kristallnacht. It was clear that the Poruman family had been subjected to a terrible scene that he will never forget.

When his wife heard his words, she hugged him and comforted him. "Rest assured, we're in Romania. No one will oppress us anymore, and no one will put us in concentration camps. ”

Poruman, who was lying in his wife's arms, followed his wife's words. "Yes, no one will oppress us anymore, no one will target us anymore."

As he spoke, Boruman couldn't help but think of his current predicament. "But we came to Romania with nothing, no house, no job. And we still owe three thousand lei in foreign debt, which needs to be repaid. ”

The situation that happened to Poruman is the one that every foreign Jew is in now. Because Romania paid Germany and Italy a fee of 1,000 lei per person, Jews from Germany and Italy were now only allowed to travel to Romania, except for a small number.

In addition to the cost of paying the thousand lei, the cost of transportation, food, housing and living expenses are added up to the price of two thousand lei by the Romanian government. This is the fee that every Cuban who enters Romania from both countries must pay. Because they were all empty-handed, except for what they were wearing, and a few changes of clothes in their luggage, there was nothing else.

Of course, Romania, taking into account the practical difficulties of the Jews, did not demand their immediate restitution. However, the arrears were repaid from the third month onwards, and the monthly repayment was 60 lei, which only took six years to pay off, which was much more conscientious than some loans in later generations.

The Jews who had not paid the money were not allowed to leave Romania, and they were to live together. Arrange for their own people to be in charge of the management, and if someone escapes, then the person in charge will be jointly and severally liable for the remaining debts.

It stands to reason that no one should be willing to hold such a position, but in fact, there are many people who are willing to take up this position, and they are generally willing to do this work. However, they generally joined the Jewish Zionist organization, and this was one of the guarantees for the formal involvement of the Jewish Council in these groups.

With them, Romania is not at all afraid of where these Jews are going. Of course, with the exception of these grassroots managers, who were all Jewish, Romanian officials were commonly used in other management. After all, this is Romanian territory, and it is impossible to give the Jews an "autonomy", although this is only a temporary move, but it still does not give any chance.

Judging by the initiatives set up in Romania, it is not very good for these Jews. But compared to other countries, this is already a very good measure.

Of course, if you have the money or can borrow it, the Romanian government doesn't care where you go. But that's easier said than done. The rich and famous have long left through various channels, and the rest are basically ordinary Jews, where did they come from to leave here. Had it not been for Romania's help, their fate would have been almost doomed.

"I went to church today, and the rabbi said that he had just been placed here and had to go to the employment agency to find a job. But the good news is that the rabbi said the church plans to open a kindergarten to help people with their children. ”

Yes, the church was also an important place for Jews to socialize, but at the moment everyone is new here, and it is a good way to help each other. And helping to take care of the children at the moment is also a good move for all.

In addition, Romania is currently preparing for the new communities in which various public institutions such as schools, hospitals, police stations and so on have been opened. With the exception of a few powerful departments, the others were held by the Jews themselves.

The wife asked her husband after the message she had received at the church. "What is your opinion, Poruman?"

Faced with his wife's inquiry, Poruman wanted to get the information he saw in the employment agency yesterday, and could only sigh and reply. "I have no opinion, you have decided."

Porumman's words made his wife make up her mind. "It looks like Bernie has to go to kindergarten. We all need to go out to work under the pressure of our family. ”

The two made a decision and hugged each other to sleep, and waited until the next morning, after breakfast, the two who simply cleaned up and let the neighbor take their son out for a while.

When they were in the neighborhood, they felt that there were a lot of people going out today, and they didn't have to think that they were basically looking for jobs like the Porummans. When you arrive at the employment agency, it is crowded with people, and the crowd fills the entire street. And there are many like the two of them, who keep adding bricks and tiles to it from everywhere.

"How many people should there be?"

The wife looked at the crowd in surprise.

"There should be no less than 10,000 people, when I came here yesterday, there weren't so many people."

Seeing that there were so many people, the two immediately asked others, and it turned out that in view of the number of people today, they no longer talked directly with the workers because they could not receive them. The agency will assign them according to their occupations, and then talk about them in batches.

And the two of them immediately lined up after hearing this.

The Jews who came to Romania were generally similar, and they were assigned to work in Romania without stopping.

And their accession was a great addition to Romania, ensuring Romania's wartime production.
