Lerne Rumänisch in Rumänien!

Rumänische Sprach- und Kulturkurse in Kronstadt (Braşov), 12.07. – 02.08.2009

Das rumänische Kulturinstitut (ICR) organisiert Kurse zur Sprache, Geschichte und Kultur Rumäniens in einer Zitadelle in Kronstadt, die aus dem 12. Jahrhundert stammt! Die multikulturelle Vielfalt Kronstadts (Corona, Kronstadt, Brassó) erschließt sich aus dessen geschichtlicher Bedeutung als mittelalterliches Handelszentrum, aber auch aufgrund der jahrhundertelang aufgebauten und gepflegten akademischen und kulturellen Vielfalt. So war Kronstadt im November 1987 der erste Ort einer antikommunistischen Widerstandsbewegung in Rumänien.Das angebotene Programm wird in Zusammenarbeit mit der literaturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Braşov, dem Museum `Mureşenilor-Erinnerungshaus`, der Bibliothek des Landkreises Braşov sowie der lokalen Initiative `Corona`organisiert.

TIMISOARA '89 - GROUND ZERO OF THE ROMANIAN REVOLUTION

Im Krankenhaus wachte ich nackt auf einer Bahre auf. Ich war in einem kalten Korridor. Um mich herum war es voller Tote und Verwundete auf Bahren und auf dem Boden. Die Verwundeten schrien vor Schmerz und um Hilfe. Jemand wollte mir meine Armbanduhr abnehmen und meinte dabei: „Der krepiert ja sowieso!“ Ich kam dann zu mir und verlangte, zum Orthopäden gebracht zu werden.
In den nächsten Tagen hörte ich, dass die Toten aus dem Krankenhaus geschmuggelt und die Verletzten verhört wurden. Leichter Verletzte flüchteten aus dem Krankenhaus, um nicht von der Securitate gefunden zu werden.
Traian Orban, Präsident des Vereins in memoriam Timisoara

La spitalul judetean m-am trezit pe o targa, in pielea goala, intr-un coridor in frig. Pe jos si pe targi era plin de morti si raniti. Ranitii gemeau, zbierau, chemau ajutor. Cineva a vrut sa-mi ia ceasul de la mina spunind “da-l dracului ca moare!”. Eu atunci am iesit din amortire spunindu-le ca trebuie sa fiu dus la ortopedie.
In zilele urmatoare am auzit ca din morga spitalului judetean au fost furati morti si ca ranitii sint anchetati in spitale. Cei care erau raniti mai usor au parasit spitalul (pentru a nu fi gasiti de securitate).
Traian Orban, presedintele Asociatiei Memorialul Revolutiei din Timisoara

ROMANIA, 20 YEARS AFTER

Twenty years ago, Romania was still part of the former Communist Block, amid a parallel Eastern European universe marked by economic bankruptcy, non-democratic policy and a totalitarian dictatorship, which was becoming growingly intrusive within all aspects of public and private life. In 1989, the Communist reality was brought to an abrupt end through a series of seismic mass struggles that swiped across Eastern Europe. Amidst such revolutionary struggles, Romania freed itself from a Communist dictatorship that had held power since 1947. Contemporary experts have come to regard 1989 as a historical milestone, marking the beginning of a post-Communism ‘success story’ for Eastern Europe. In the Romanian context, ’89 has become a symbol of freedom, while Romania’s development ever-since serves as proof that the setbacks established during almost fifty years of Communism can be successfully reversed.In 2009, while celebrating twenty years of freedom, the Romanian Cultural Institute hopes to offer the opportunity to reflect upon Romania’s historical struggle and recent developments. To this aim, in 2009, activities will center around three emerging themes: the historical events of 1989, the revolutionary energy brought about after 1989 and the Romanian emotional collective memories of 1989 and the world it brought to an end.
