In Moldova some consider Marshall Antonescu, a former Romanian military leader, a hero who has ordered the soldiers to cross the Prut River and defend Moldova; for a substantial part of the Moldovan population this signifies the beginning of the liberation process from the soviet occupation of the Romanian region today known as Republic of Moldova. However, the overwhelming majority of the population still does not know and does not concede the actions taken by the Antonescu regime against the Jewish population living in this region: the setting up of concentration camps in Transnistria and the actions taken in the aftermath of these events. These facts simply don’t exist. They were systematically erased from the collective memory.

Clear History is a project about Moldova’s recent past, a past which seems to be entirely unknown to the young generation and totally ignored or even carefully hidden by the older generation.
