An Iron Curtain Breakaway: From Romania to America Part 2

By Maurice Nachtigal

After winning this fight and being reunited, these memoirs relate how each member of this family has succeeded in their new life. In spite of the extensive differences between the Old World and the New World, everyone has accomplished his or her goals. Credit for this remarkable deed is split between the new arrivals and their adopted motherland. The United States proved to be the land of opportunities, where the American dream can be reached. In this respect, the most remarkable event was when Maurice was naturalized as an American citizen and received, from his medical students, an American flag that had been flown over the United States Capitol. Revisiting Romania after the dismantle of the Iron Curtain and reviewing his long and tortuous life pathway, Maurice reaches the conclusion that the most important events of his life were marrying Sidonia and replacing the Iron Curtain with the Statue of Liberty. His life story could be a lesson from the struggle of an ordinary family against a totalitarian regime about adaptation to huge differences between two different worlds and the power of love and trust.
