The Emigrant

I wrote this book about all my persecutions and suffering from Romania in the

time of communism. Everything began in 1983 when I decided to leave my country. I

could never forget those six years from 1983-1989 of all the suffering and persecution

I pulled through, those memories will never leave me.

This book is my witness, and I thank God that I am able to write about all my

sufferings and persecution during the communist period in my country Romania. I

was abused physically and mentally, and it even got to the point where they would try

to kill me because of my origin, which is a gypsy. Yes, I am gypsy but, I am also human

like everyone else. I have the same blood and the same god like anybody else. I am

proud to write on this piece of paper about the tragic events that occurred during the

communist period of time in Romania. The brutal crimes, murders, and persecution

that occurred transformed population in my country into slaves. Im writing this book

about my life, how much I suffered, and how I was persecuted under the communist

period. And also I wrote about the events that happened in World War II 1940-1944

under the Marshal Antonescu power; how he persecuted the gypsy and deported

them in Trasnistria camp. The persecution didnt stop there; they continued all the

way to the year of 1989 under Ceausescu Nicolaie, the President of Romania. Reader,

once you open this book, I promise you after you read just a few pages you cant stop

reading. Just try to read it, and I guaranty that you will feel and live my moments of

my sufferings and persecution. This is not a fi ction book; this is not a storybook, and

everything in this book is real. In this book you can fi nd very tragic and humorous

events. Maybe youll never read a book like this ever in your life. You discover historic

events that were never written, like how the communist would sell the Jews and the

gypsies in Europe, and also, how they deported and made them suffer in Trasnistria

Camp during the World War II, and many more. I wrote this book crying because I

suffered so much for only one reason:

I WANT MY FREEDOM!
