Information Bulletin of the People’s Republic of Romania was a propaganda and informational tool aimed at the Romanian immigrant community in Israel and the broader public, intended to present the “achievements” of the communist regime in Romania in a positive light. The photographs featured on the covers of the issues were in fact an attempt by the Romanian regime to convey an image of “normalcy” and social prosperity. During those years (the late 1950s), relations between Israel and Romania were highly complex. On the one hand, Romania was part of the Eastern Bloc hostile to the West, but on the other hand, it maintained a relatively open channel with Israel (albeit under strict limitations) and permitted waves of Jewish immigration.
