Photographs, maps, facsimiles.  The book is a definitive historical and economic study documenting the vital role of Jewish loan and saving co-operatives across Greater Romania during the interwar period and the Holocaust. Supported largely by the JDC (Joint) and ICA, these community-backed financial institutions served as a critical lifeline for hundreds of thousands of Jewish artisans, small traders, and farmers facing state-sponsored antisemitism and severe economic marginalization. Drawing on his firsthand experience as a key director within these networks, Ussoskin skillfully balances rigorous statistical data, archival documents, and institutional reports with a compelling narrative that highlights how financial self-help became a powerful tool of endurance, communal autonomy, and economic dignity under persecution.
