Women Behind Bars in Romania

Overview

In 1949, Annie Samuelli and her sister Nora were seized by the Communists on trumped-up charges in a mass arrest of all Romanian nationals working for the U.S. and British Legations in Bucharest. After nine months of torture and interrogation, the two sisters were sentenced to long prison terms. Then, in 1961, after 11 years and 340 days in separate prisons and security cells, the two were quietly released from jail and exiled upon payment of ransom by a relative living in the United States. In this book, Annie Samuelli writes of those years of imprisonment with great sensitivity and a remarkable lack of bitterness. She describes her successful effort to sustain her own and others' spirits through the seemingly endless ordeal. This is an authentic, graphic record of one woman's odyssey in the shadow world of the Iron Curtain prisons. Reprint of The Wall Between.

Table of Contents

The Salisbury Review- The book is written in a deceptively simple, almost matter-of-fact, manner, but it constitutes a dramatic and graphic record, a powerful and disturbing document and a terrible indictment of a political regime. Intelligence and National Security- This is..a splendid testimony to the strength of a belief in freedom under persecution, and makes a most welcome reprint
