An Official communique said today that revision of citizenships will apply to all Jews in Transylvania who were naturalized after 1913. The communique cited a Hungarian law which required five-year residence in Transylvania to be considered a regular resident and said that only those having fulfilled this requirement were eligible for Rumanian citizenship.
Revision of citizenships in other provinces annexed by Rumania after the World War, expected to affect a majority of the country’s 900,000 Jews, will be applied to those naturalized after 1918, date of annexation.
