I'm Romanian, so this book made me sad and angry and proud and many other things. Learned a lot about the hardships my parents and my grandparents had to endure. Most of them I knew about - but many I didn't. This is definitely a must read. Well written and researched, truly a powerful book with an interesting story - a book that you cannot put down.
