by Alexandru Florian,

The following study uses qualitative analysis to identify the main anti-Jewish and Holocaust denial themes used in Romanian media. The hypothesis of the analysis is that even in modern societies freedom of expression is limited, particularly when it comes to messages which incite hate or which urge for discriminatory actions. In 2002, Romania joined other countries which in implementing active policies in order to discourage the public denial of Holocaust and profascist symbolism. Despite this, the media continue to disseminate anti-Jewish and Holocaust denial symbols. The paper identifies and analyzes the main themes and instruments the media employs in order to deliver such messages.
