Romanian / English / German
In the year 1951, after Romania had been occupied by the Soviets, over 12,791 families were deported from the west of Romania in the Field of Baragan. They were suspected that they sympathized with the regime of the marshal Iosif Broz Tito, dissident against Comintern: the Communist International severely controlled by Stalin). To achieve this deportation 20,106 well armoured soldiers, frontier guards, policemen were used for the operations of blocking, raising and escort.. The families were forced to build houses for themselves and to live in a place with a severe climate.
This document reveals that in hard living conditions the people have adapted and they didn’t forget their origins, their friends, their birth places. The deportation changed their lives forever, it abolished their human rights but their survival and their testimony must stand as a reminder that dictatorship destroys freedom and human beings.
