Anti-Fascist Committee of German Workers in Romania
The Anti-Fascist Committee of German Workers in Romania (
Neuer Weg ('New Path').[1]
By the late 1940s the post-
Romanian Workers Party adopted a 'Resolution of the National Question' which outlined the need for the formation of a German Anti-Fascist Committee and a German-language newspaper.[3] The Anti-Fascist Committee of German Workers in Romania was founded in March 1949 by a number of ethnic German party members, along with its organ Neuer Weg.[4][5] The Committee was tasked with mobilizing support for the Communist government amongst ethnic German labourers.[5] The Committee was one of a number of ethnic mass organizations in Romania at the time, alongside the Jewish Democratic Committee, Union of Slav Democratic Cultural Associations, the Hungarian Popular Union, the Democratic Committee of the Russian and Ukrainian Peoples, the Democratic Greek Committee and the Democratic Armenian Committee.[6]
