Appendix
520 "In the darkness of the early morning of 3 March 1949,
practically all of the Transylvanian aristocracy were
arrested in their beds and loaded into lorries. Under the
terror of Gheorghiu-Dej and later Ceau escu the
aristocracy led a double life: during the day they worked
in quarries, steelworks and carpenters yards; in the
evening they secretly gathered and maintained the rituals
of an older world. To record this episode of recent
history, Jaap Scholten travelled extensively in Romania
and Hungary and sought out the few remaining aristocrats
who survived communism and met the youngest generation of
the once distinguished aristocracy to talk about the
restitution of assets and about the future"--|cProvided by
