The volume is devoted to revealing one of the most tragic episodes of the Communist genocide in Romania: the “re-education” through torture. This action took place between 1948 and 1951, in various forms, in the prisons and forced labour camps where the political prisoners were detained. It was a diabolical experiment, inspired by the methods of the Soviet “teacher” Makarenko and it aimed to the physical and especially moral destruction of those who opposed the Communist regime.
I believe that, the moment I will leave for good the cohort of the witnesses of the horrors inflicted by the Communist regime, Filip-Lucian Iorga will honourably and aptly take over the honour of keeping awake the memory of our fellow citizens, so that such tragedies won’t happen again.
