Romania’s rocky road from the Ceaușescu dictatorship to fragile democracy - Appendix: Reports of 31 former students of the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca Romania who live today in Romania and abroad Translation: From German into American-English by DeepL

Prof. Dr. Dr. Johannes Kneifel

Sinossi

Romania's communist system developed into the bloodiest system in Europe after World War II. Ceaușescu ruled the country with state terror. As a result, a civil society could not properly develop in Romania in this period. Ceaușescu's foreign policy showed some distance from the Soviet Union in order to get economic aid from Western countries, but his erratic economic policy drove Romania into a long-lasting crisis. Many Romanians who had the courage to liberate Romania from tyranny and fight for a democratic society died in the hail of bullets from the Securitate and the Military. During the Romanian Revolution, before and after the December 25, 1989, execution of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu, approximately 1300 Romanian patriots were killed. 31 former students of the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, one of the leading universities in Romania, wrote how their grandparents and parents remembered or experienced the brutal communist system. The Romanian students were only willing to write about their own experiences at Romanian high schools and at the University if their names were not published. Some of these students live in Romania today,some of them now live abroad. As they report, even more than 30 years after the Romanian revolution, the Ceaușescu dictatorship remains a taboo subject in large parts of Romanian society.

Undaunted Hope - Stories of...

Claudia Black Ph.D.

Claudia Black, along with over a dozen world-renowned psychotherapists including Pia Mellody, Peter Levine, Patrick Carnes, Richard Schwartz, Resmaa Menakem, and Tian Dayton, provides clinical, human-focused insights on healing, treatment, and recovery. 
People today are struggling with an unprecedented rise in mental health concerns such as depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, suicide, and more. The greatest barriers to getting help are their shame, their self-loathing, and the belief that their situation is hopeless. Undaunted Hope destigmatizes these disorders and invites readers to take the first step to help: asking for it.  
Through the narratives of twenty-one alumni from Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, world-renowned treatment facilities, readers may see themselves in parts of the stories—and ultimately find the courage to ask for help. Each storyteller reveals the origins of their struggles, the chaotic course of events leading up to treatment, what help entailed, and how their lives became richer, fuller, and more hopeful once they were willing to take the first step toward healing.  
This urgent and timely book presents the stories of the therapeutic work that occurs in Meadows' facilities, recognizing that trauma is most often the underlying issue to people’s struggles. The groundbreaking work at The Meadows has been validated by the landmark Adverse Childhood Experience Study (ACEs) carried out by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the past twenty-five years. These studies repetitively demonstrate the relationship of various traumas to mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral healthcare problems.

Unveil the dark corridors of history as you explore the meticulously researched summary of William L. Shirer's landmark work, 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.'

Our condensed version of Shirer's monumental narrative captures the grim realities of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, the ensuing terror of Nazi rule, and the cataclysmic downfall of a regime that almost consumed the world. Shirer's book serves as both a cautionary tale and a record of one of the darkest chapters in human history. 
Decades of careful journalism and first-hand experience have been distilled into a summary that retains the gravity of its source material while being accessible to a modern audience. Here, the complexities of political maneuvering, military strategy, and social dynamics are brought to light in a compelling read that's both informative and chilling.

Themes of cultural survival, displacement, and the search for community are central to the narrative. Through their individual stories, Orange examines the complexities of being Native in a contemporary world, confronting stereotypes, and the challenges of reconnecting with heritage. The novel highlights the importance of storytelling as a means of healing, resistance, and reclaiming identity in a society that marginalizes Native voices.
