Rezumat: The study is part of series, which present the life of the Transylvanian Reformed Church after the Vienna Award (several studies on this topic have been published in this journal in 2008 and 2009). The censorship was an usual practice during war, with the role of filtering the communist and anti-war press articles, but the Romanian censorship was also anti-Hungarian in its practice. First the bureaucracy around censoring
created several difficulties for the Church Press. The materials for censoring had to be sent to Bucharest and the Church had to wait a significant time to get them back. This delay caused the printings to appear lately. For instance a circular, which had to be printed in December 1942 only appeared in May 1943, or the 1942 calendar appeared with a delay of 3 months. It was also hard to get permission for publishing any journal, and the selection of the text had also a powerful anti-Hungarian character.
Censors often deleted biblical texts or simple poems just because they had some Hungarian character.
In consequence we may say that the censorship during the Antonescu regime had denied the access of Hungarians to information and to their own culture. Censorship
had become a good instrument to paralyze the community life of Hungarians. The church has tried vainly to alleviate the difficulties caused by censorship, but they did not get any answer for their requests or the authorities had simply stated that the censorship only follows the Hungarian practice against Romanians in Northern Transylvania.
Keywords: WW2, Romania, censorship, Southern-Transylvanian Reformed Church, church press.
