The repression launched under Gheorghe Gheorghiu – Dej (1948-1964) was promoted by Nicolae Ceauşescu (1964-1989) as well. It was called Romanian type of communism. Part of the oppressed persons succeeded to leave the country and started the bases of Romanian emigration. Organizations of Romanians established abroad were set up. This type of organizations evidenced them self by fighting on political and diplomatic ways for setting up the democratic regime in Romania. One of the most important was called The Union of Former Political Prisoners from Romania and it was organized under the leadership of Dumitru Ionescu. The persons willing to became members used to send to this association a file made from legal documents as: autobiography, copy after the legal document attesting the conviction in Romania, recommendations and a letter of intention. Those documents are testifying the dramas of the persons that opposed in one way or another to the communist regime.
