You will discover several personal stories of ingenuity, solidarity, and resistance against far-right regimes in Romania during the interwar period and World War II. These are personal journeys of individuals who faced discrimination, violence, and isolation and chose to resist—whether to help their families, friends, or acquaintances, or simply to survive. They speak to us about tactics, strategies, and personal motivations that drove acts of opposition, as well as the consequences of these decisions.

The selection of these materials also serves as a reflection on the collective memory of far-right ideologies and policies. Collective memory—a social and political construct—fluctuates, changes, and sometimes disappears, directly influenced by the power dynamics of a given period. This exhibition highlights these aspects of the dynamics of collective memory.
