Germina Nagâț, director of investigations at CNSAS: Disclosure – cui prodest?
On Sunday, January 19, 2014, at 11:00, at the Small Hall of the TNB, will take place a conference entitled Disclosure- cui prodest? held by Germina Nagâț, the director of investigations at CNSAS.
About Conference
A part of the secret chronicle about Romanians who lived under the yoke of the communism for more than half of a century, is written in the 3 million archive files of CNSAS. In a huge library, with 24 km of shelves, you can read today the saddest real stories, with heroes who remained unknown, but also with monsters. Who are the characters and which is the moral of the secret stories when we tell them to other people?
The National Theatre invites you to a free and unprejudiced discussion about disclosure, its riks and benefits, viewed from the perspective of the recent experience. A debate in which clichés will be replaced by the examples, and „good" and the „truth" will get substance from the lives of people who have lived one of the worst eras from history.
