Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:30:50 +0000 http://www.draculaisdead.com/?page_id=404#comment-616 The only reason I really read this book was out of moral obligation--my dad's friends wrote it, and it was signed for me, so I'd feel bad not reading it. I found it to be really eye-opening. I am Romanian, but I learned so many new things about my heritage from this book. I loved that it covered such broad topics--from the obvious political aspect of communism to the huge orphanage scandal that dubbed Romania with a bad reputation. I could easily identify with this book, and I liked that it wasn't completely dry even though it was in a sense a biography of Romania as a country, and was totally non-fiction.

He was given your book for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now it is my turn and I am enjoying it myself. I have been to Romania twice and have found so many of your anecdotes to match up with my own experiences with the people and places there. I hope to have many more trips to add to my own Romanian memories. Thank you so much for writing this book and telling the wonderful story of Romania!

]]> Comment on Remembering the Holocaust… at Elie Wiesel’s home by Charlotte Frenkel http://www.draculaisdead.com/about-the-book/read-an-excerpt-2/remembering-the-holocaust-at-elie-wiesels-home/comment-page-1#comment-66 Charlotte Frenkel Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:58:03 +0000 http://development.recognos.ro/draculabook/?page_id=237#comment-66 Your chapter on Elie Wiesel was an excellent description of the emotions he felt going back to Sighet his hometown where he and his family were deported to the death camps. However, you never mention the complicity of Romania with the Germans, the Iron Guard, the fact that Transnistria was a killing field of Jews of all ages, Jews that endured unbelievable torture, starvation and typhus, most of whom were treated worse than the human brain could comprehend. Read MATATIAS CARP'S BOOK: THE HOLOCAUST IN ROMANIA to learn more about the truth of what happened in Romania. I feel that the excuse given by Iliescu dishonors the memory of my relatives who perished in the camps in Moldova and Berschad, grandparents I never saw, uncles, aunts, siblings of my parents, all of who perished only for being born Jewish.
