Remember. 23 August: Doina Cornea

Doina Maria Cornea (1929 – 2018) was a professor of French language, linguist, translator, human rights activist, and one of the most emblematic figures of the antitotalitarian opposition in Romania. Intellectually independent in a country under communist rule, she was spied on and arrested, mocked and persecuted. Her example teaches us that it is necessary to call a lie by its name as becoming aware of the truth brings liberation. Remember her. Doina Cornea's bio: https://enrs.eu/remember-august-23-in...
