"Stefan Cristian Ionescu´s book deals precisely with one of these developments in which intellectual, social, and material history became primarily enmeshed with the history of law. ... Ionescu´s work offers an important exploratory inquiry into the daily life of Romanians, Jews, and Roma under the shadow of Holocaust. Through a well-documented and attentive analysis of the institutional, political, and sociological aspects of Romanianization, he enables us to clarify the limits of this project and its ultimate failure." (Cosmin Sebastian Cercel, H-Nationalism, networks.h-net.org, April, 2016)
