Literary Partners Program presents: Jaap Scholten in discussion with Gabriel Sanders of Tablet Magazine about Comrade Baron

“Comrade Baron presents an extraordinary oral history in which the last remaining members of the aristocracy tell how Ceausescu carried out an extermination programme against the class enemy, making it an urgent testimony about an aspect of recent history as horrifying as it is unknown.”
