Clearly. we must focus our attention on the plight of small Protestant denominations in Romania which are being harassed and whose clergymen are being arrested and convicted on false criminal charges. Little attention Is being paid to the equally serious persecution of national minorities in Romania. There are about 2.5 million Hungarians and 330.000 Germans. as well as Serbs. Armenians. Bulgars. Turks. and Gypsies In Romania. Last year. 14.000 Germans emigrated to the Federal Republic of Germany. Financed by heavy investments from German industries and banks. President Ceausecsu allowed them to emigrate. For those who stay. the cultural. ethnic. and religious oppression remains unchanged. A denationalization campaign is being concentrated especially on the Hungarians. the largest national minority in Europe outside of the Soviet Union.
