The former
political prison in Sighet turned, after the Revolution of 1989, into
The Memorial of the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance. The Council of Europe designated the
Sighet Memorial one of the main memorial sites of the continent, alongside the Auschwitz Museum and the Peace Memorial in Normandy.
The amazing work of a handful of specially dedicated people keeps the memory of this country and continent alive - the memory
of who we are, of our own identity.
Without the
Sighet Memorial my life as a simple citizen inhabiting Europe and this world would lack an essential dimension...
