THE UNSPOKEN IN THE MEMOIRS OF COMMUNIST DETENTION

Summary/Abstract: The complex world of the memoirs of communist detention brings us face to face with the lives of the ones that survived the inhumane conditions of the imprisonment of those times. Although through confession they go through a healing process, there are always things that the memoir author leaves unspoken. This may occur because of memory gaps caused by the passing of time or by repressing traumatic memories. Another reason is represented by fear, as the former political prisoner is still under the sign of subversion. Thus, the paper focuses on analysing these gaps and attempting to fill the puzzle, making one more step towards the complete picture of the magnificent universe of political detention.
