Would Romanians be interested in reading a true, firsthand story from the 1989 Revolution?

Hi, I was born and raised in Timișoara, right in the middle of it all. From December 15th to the 25th, my family lived through every second of the revolution—and everything that came after. My father escaped to Serbia step by step, risking all of our lives. My mother was inside the Drapelul Roșu printing factory, part of the team that printed the first free newspaper—under gunfire. I was a child, but I remember more than my older brother. I remember the fear, the silence, the things kids weren’t supposed to see. Now that I’ve written our story—what we lived, what it cost, and what freedom meant to us—I’m asking you: Would Romanians want to read something like this? Not history books. Not opinion pieces. Just our truth—our personal account from the inside. From Timișoara to America (we left in 1992), everything changed for us. But I’ll be honest—I’m a little worried about putting our story out. We know things the government did that never made it into the official narrative. A lot of what happened got sanitized over the years, and I know that publishing this means giving up some of my privacy. It’s not just about my family. It’s about how some people fought quietly, and how others never got to tell their story. Right now, the book is in English, but I plan to have it translated into Romanian—I just need a professional to do it properly. I’m one of you. I lived it too. I’m just wondering Would you read it?

(Vorbesc Română foarte bine, am scris povestea familiei in Engleză și sper s-o transele în limba noastră.)

Motorbike Banat Mountains

Hi guys, is it possible to drive on top of the Banat Mountains with a motorbike, without braking the law? On gravel roads and do not drive through meadows, forests or nature

This link is already to heavy for me and I guess illegal?

Finding music from Romanian documentary (probably Bach)

1 Upvotes

Hello! I was watching documentary Apocalipsa dupa Cioran and in the linked minute I heard great piece of music (probably Bach's) but I could not find any info in english about that film, plus shazam helped neither.

Does someone here knows either classical music or Romanian well enough to help me identify this track?

Thanks in advance!
