Romanian Exhibition Shows 1989 Secret Police Interrogation Videos

An exhibition has opened in Romania that presents archival footage of secret‑police interrogations. The videos were recorded in 1989, the year the communist regime fell. Visitors watch the raw, unedited recordings of the Securitate questioning detainees. The display aims to preserve a stark record of state repression. Organizers describe the experience as “chilling” and meant to spark reflection. The exhibition highlights the human cost of surveillance and intimidation. It adds to ongoing efforts to document Romania’s totalitarian history. Observers say the show may influence how the past is taught to future generations.
