Summary/Abstract: The issue of families split after 1948 by the Iron Curtain is one of the historical topics that are somewhat neglected. Yet, as only a few others, these painful stories fundamentally affected the people concerned and completely changed their lives. This is a typical totalitarian phenomenon without any equivalent in previous times. Children became hostage to the state and a tool for arbitrary punishment and extortion of their parents.
