In the 1980’s the network of spies of young Romanians was well infiltrated throughout all neighborhoods in Bucharest: at schools, in their families and other private settings. Not only did they spy on their friends at school or their teachers, but also on their families.

“The children of Ceausescu” represent the generation of sacrifce. Thirty years after the violent execution of the head of state, access to the ?les created by the Securitate, or the secret police, can be studied. It would all but seem that some Romanians have preferred not to leave any trace of their allusive tradition.
