Description
Lazar Saineanu (1859-1934), a Romanian linguist and folklorist who made studies of Yiddish, Turkish influences in Romanian culture, and Romanian folktales, was blocked from Romanian citizenship and professorship due to anti-Semitic sentiment from those who believed Jews could not be Romanians and that Romanian culture was purely Latin in origin
