In the haunting and deeply moving memoir, *Orphans of Communism: Am Your Prisoner For Life*, author Alina Cojocaru recounts her harrowing experiences as a young girl growing up in communist Romania under the oppressive regime of Nicolae Ceausescu.
Born in 1975, Alina's childhood was marked by poverty, fear, and the constant threat of violence. Her parents, both political dissidents, were imprisoned for their beliefs, leaving Alina and her siblings to be raised by the state in a brutal orphanage. There, she endured unimaginable hardships, including malnutrition, overcrowding, and physical and emotional abuse.
Despite the horrors she faced, Alina clung to a flicker of hope, knowing that she could not give up. She dreamed of a better life, a life of freedom and opportunity. Her indomitable spirit and resilience carried her through the darkest of times.
At the age of 16, Alina escaped from Romania and made her way to the United States. She was finally free, but the scars of her past remained. She struggled to adjust to a new culture and language, and she was haunted by nightmares of her childhood.
But Alina was determined to rebuild her life. She went on to earn a college degree, become a successful businesswoman, and found a loving family. Yet, she never forgot the children she left behind in Romania.Inspired by her own experiences, Alina founded the organization Orphans of Communism to provide support and assistance to orphans and vulnerable children in Romania and Moldova.
*Orphans of Communism* is a powerful and moving memoir that shines a light on the dark history of communism and its devastating impact on children. It is a story of survival, triumph, and the indomitable spirit that can overcome even the darkest of circumstances. Alina's story is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, hope can prevail.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of communism, human rights, or the power of the human spirit. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human heart and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope can always be found.
