Compensații morale și financiare pentru supraviețuitorii orfelinatelor
Moral and financial compensation for the survivors of orphanages

Summary/Abstract: Researchers’ interest in the experiences of survivors from orphanages in Romania has grown considerably, emphasizing the profound impact these institutions had on abandoned children and, by extension, on society. Beyond the social challenges, this issue is closely intertwined with social policies and national legislation, having deep historical and cultural significance. Individual memory plays a crucial role in reconstructing the past and advancing social justice, with recent studies focusing on the psychological traumas endured by survivors after 1960, as well as the ways in which they shape their identities and reintegrate into society. Efforts to uncover the traumas of the past are crucial not only for supporting survivors but also for educating society on the importance of upholding children’s rights. Romania has a moral obligation to confront its past with clarity in order to promote restorative justice and ensure a more equitable and responsible future for all generations. These initiatives can contribute to the social and emotional reintegration of those affected, restoring their dignity and providing them with a new opportunity in life.
