Abstract:
The Commission of Historical Monuments of Bessarabia, a dynamic institution,
active despite all the difficulties that were in the interwar decades had an
essential contribution in protecting the cultural heritage, passing on to future
generations the inherited cultural wealth. Created in 1918, it actually began its
activity only after the publication of the decree of October 1919, in which the
members of the Commission were nominated and its president was named Paul
Gore. Gradually becoming the most important cultural institution, overseen by
the Commission of Historical Monuments in Bucharest, both with the same goal
of protecting heritage, gained the trust of scientists and culture, passionate
teachers of our historical past, aware that without heritage a people may lose
their cultural identity. It was an institution that worked very well in particular
and changed the attitude of civil society.”
