Today seems to be "serious international media cover some of the hidden shit in 20th century Romania" day.
Here's Al Jazeerah on the Securitate and its cover up in the wake of the fall of the Ceausescu regime
And here's Der Speigel covering "Romania's forgotten holocaust" in Odessa and Transnistria, under the Antonescu regime.

Hi Andy,
ReplyDeletethanks for both of them - very interesting, especially when considering that people tend to forget the unpleasantness of the past.
I'd like to add something else though - the way the current political situation is presented doesn't do any justice to the first film; very loose parallels, far-fetched connections and one- sidedness ...
BW,
