Jaap Scholten travelled extensively in Romania and Hungary and sought out the few remaining aristocrats who experienced the night of 3 March 1949. He spoke to people who survived the Romanian Gulag and met the youngest generation of the once distinguished aristocracy to talk about the restitution of assets and about the future.
A comprehensive first-hand historical compilation of the Hungarian Revolution and its aftermath, including the 50th anniversary with more than 160 interviews, accounts, anecdotes, documents, poems and pictures from survivors, friends and adversaries from all walks of life worldwide.
The nations and peoples of Eastern Europe – war-torn, divided, strife-ridden and subjected to persecution from both East and West – yet enduring with remarkable resilience, preserving distinct cultures and traditions while struggling to advance in a modern world.
