Summary/Abstract: The unpublished testimony which is to appear in the “National Museum” renders, with serene detachment, a life started as a fairy tale and continued with a terrible adolescence marked by prison and horrible confinement.In an interwiev she gave twenty years ago, Măriuca Vulcănescu narrated the happy moments of her childhood emphasizing the loving figures of her parents and relatives. The atmosphere of the Vulcănescu family house in Bucharest and the Văcărescu manor in Văcărești, a place full of history and legends, are remembered with great delight. The main character of the interlocutions is Mircea Vulcănescu, important personality of the interwar period, whose destiny was broken at the age of only 48, in the communist Aiud prison. The personal dramas of Măriuca Vulcănescu starting with her arrest at the age of 18 and the sufferings during the Commnist era complete the portrait of a sensible lady who miraclously survived to a hostile destiny due to the moral values inherited from her family.
