Tag #129505 - Interview #84078 (Roseanu Oscar)

I could never get over the first thing I heard from that Russian colonel at the end of the war: ‘Remember you are Jews before being Communists!’ 11 years after 1945, I was reprimanded in a Party meeting for having been a member of the Ihud. Somewhere in my records they found that I had been a member of the Ihud 11 years earlier. I may have been a fervent Communist, a Party member and a university lecturer teaching Marxism-Leninist, but none of these mattered. My being a Jew was more important. It haunted me my entire life.
