Winner for US welcomes you to our pageThe Winner for US is a brand name. In 1989 in Eastern Europe, of the freedom seekers like me, the Danube frontier’s swimmers were called “pelicans” and the terrestrial fugitives were called “rabbits.” How one of those could became the Winner4US? Having your home set in the middle of all wars and social experiments is unbelievably stressful. Many risked their lives to get out into the free world, Western Europe or America. From the Communist point of view, we the escapees were traitors. As a refugee, I had my moments when I asked myself: “Did I leave my family and country for a plate of beans?” I found my answer, and "The Escape" book is part of it.
Why I escaped and became a "Pelican" ?"It was hard to accept that I failed in my attempt of building a resistance group for action or join one. It was summer, when I got a feedback from a very scared friend. Than, I realized that my direct approach was endangering my family more than I was damaging Ceausescu with my articles. It was not fair to play with my wife and our children lives. Should I wait to be squeezed by Ceausescu's extermination machine?..." Like me, many people run for an exit in 1989. not everyone became a winner for the U.S.A., Canada or Australia... You deserve to know how was
the Romanian Socialism in 1989.
