  Abstract:   The study presents the way that Hungarian Reformed people were prejudiced by the Romanian authorities and civilians after the Second Vienna Award. First we presentthe discharge of the Hungarian workers from the Romanian mines and factories.This was followed by the forced immigration of these Hungarians to Northern Transylvania. We also present here the way that Romanian authorities have confiscated almost everything from the immigrants. The second part of our study presents the atrocities endured by Hungarians during the Antonescu regime. These atrocities have varied from oral insults to spitting in face or slapping or even brutal beatings endured by Hungarians. We also present the methods used by the authorities to torture the Hungarian citizens suspected with espionage or disloyalty. Finally, we presentthe atrocities committed against Reformed churches and buildings. A church tower has been set on fire, another has been bombed with grenades and other has been desecrated or ravaged.

Keywords: Church History, Romania, Second World war, Antonescu-regime, Hungarian minority.
