Publisher's Synopsis
Two decades after the fall of the iron curtain the worst AIDS epidemic among children bears out its infamous legacy in Romania. Beginning in 1994, Magnum Photographer Kent Klich documented the appalling aftermath of Ceausescu's horror. He offers visceral images and brief life stories from the boys and girls who still suffer from the state's mass experiment. Compassionate yet unflinching, the images are a glimpse of the daily lives of the children. Includes a essay by 2009 Nobel Award Winner, Herta Muller.
