Summary/Abstract: This essay analyzes the destiny of an anti-communist partisan woman in the Romanian mountains (Apuseni, Transylvania). Her name is Lucreția Jurj, and she lived between 1928-2004. Lucreția was a partisan for four years, then captured by the Securitate troops, and politically detained for another ten. After her release from prison, she intentionally forgets her past, which she recovers, however, after the fall of the communist regime, becoming one of the most important eyewitnesses of anti-communist resistance and political detention practices.
