In the Programe One Word of Truth In 1970, Alexander Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. The following year, three years before his expulsion from the Soviet Union, he wrote, but was never able to deliver, his Nobel Lecture. It is widely acclaimed as one of the most significant statements of the last century. Based on Solzhenitsyn’s lecture, the film “One Word of Truth” dramatitises contemporary issues such as the differing scales of values in the world, the link between violence and lies, the relevance and power of art and literature, and the crucial role of the individual.

bus The Memorial of the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance - Sighetu Marmației
Our Host The Memorial of the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance In the former “Prison of the Ministers” in Sigheu Marmatiei, the Memorial of the Victims of Communism and anticommunist Resistance comprises a Museum and an International Study Centre. The Memorial was established as a reminder of the atrocities committed by the communist regime - for years the populace had been brain-washed to create the so-called “New Man” through the rewriting of history and poisoning the memories of generations. Moral and civic values could only be recovered if the collective consciousness is duly recuperated. Sighet prison was chosen because it was the first of many political prisons set up in Stalinist times and because it was where the country’s political, spiritual and cultural elite of the pre-war democracy was exterminated. An International Study Centre was established here because out of all of the former communist countries, Romania’s experience had been the longest and most painful - from the long years of suppressed resistance to Ceausescu’s obscene “Golden Epoch”.
