A Romanian priest explains to children about the detention cell at Sighet Memorial Museum in Sighetu Marmatiei on July 13, 2013 The Sighet Memorial Museum in the northern city of Sighetu Marmatiei, housed in a former high-security jail, retraces the nightmare suffered by hundreds of thousands of Europeans who lived behind the Iron Curtain between the end of World War II and the fall of communism but also the resistance offered by many, students, farmers, intellectuals. Harrowing testimonies of arbitrary detentions, torture, forced labour or deportation, gathered by historians, are exhibited in the cells of the former prison. The memorial which also hosts a research centre and a “summer school where young people meet with historians and gulag survivors, is unique in Europe. In Romania, over 600,000 people were arrested and sentenced to imprisonment for political reasons during the communist period between 1945 and 1989.AFP PHOTO DANIEL MIHAILESCU
