Summary/Abstract: Grigore Caraza was one of the unknown heroes who chose the path of the anti-communist armed struggle. To this end, he founded the organization "Brotherhood of Arms", which was discovered by the Securitate in August 1949. From this moment begins the ordeal, with two periods of detention until 1964. Although Romania officially denies the existence of political prisoners during Nicolae Ceausescu`s, however, Grigore Caraza was arrested and imprisoned again between 1970 and 1977. After his release, under pressure from the United States, he was given the right to leave the country in 1980. He returned after the fall of communism and had the opportunity to study the files drawn up in his name by the former Securitate.
