The fonds’ inventories are systematized according to the structural-chronological principle. Included are directives, instructions, and orders of the Romanian civilian and military authorities on restrictive measures regarding Jews located in the territory of Transnistria. Among these are decrees of the Governorate of Transnistria forbidding Jews to mail packages and letters or use a Romanian-language greeting, and on rights granted to Jewish doctors; orders of the Liubashevka county prefecture barring correspondence and telephone communications between the Jews of Transnistria and Romania (1943). A significant number of documents concern Jews located in ghettos and labor camps. These include a decree establishing a camp at Akmechetka (beginning 1 October 1943) where all Jews of the city of Golta and Golta county were to be concentrated except for Jewish specialists, who were to remain in their own residences. Documents of the Romanian authorities regarding the conscription of Jews into forced labor include an order of the Third Army Corps (9 March 1943) that Jewish labor groups be organized to work in cases of fires, floods, air raids, and other emergencies, and a similar order on using these to clear snow from rail lines and roads; an order of the Liubashevka pretura economics section requiring its approval and control of the use of Jews in any work whatsoever (1943).
