During World War 2, Nazis and fascists rounded up Jews and other minorities and shipped them to Romanian concentration camps. After World War 2, it became a communist satellite, and a military dicatator named Nicolae Ceausescu took control. Finally, now that he has been overthrown, peace and stability are beginning to return to Romania, although it is still poor and behind on science because of Ceausescu. This book is definitely worh reading if you want to learn about Romania.
