The exhibition is a photographic summary of the Sighet Memorial and other Civic Academy projects. It tells the story of how the Civic Academy Foundation in Bucharest created and developed the world’s first Memorial to the Victims of
Communism in an abandoned and ruined prison at the northern edge of the country.
Thanks to the Memorial, Sighetul Marmaţiei has become famous throughout the world. The purpose of the exhibition is to commemorate the onerous journey of reconstructing the collective memory and to present a number of the fifty rooms and themes of the Memorial, under the heading of “Memory as a Form of Justice”.
