Secondly they arise from having lived in Bucharest for 4 years from 1951-55, where at the art institute I was befriended not only by Romanians who had terrible stories to recount - but also by Jewish Romanians and Hungarians, who had somehow survived the horrors of the Fascist Iron Guards" Estimate $2,000-3,000 Condition: Some light surface marks and fly spots are present, but only when inspecting close-up.
