In my opinion the article is way to nostalgic. I have seen the images of the child houses. It was complete horror and super inhumane. I can handle a lot of bad stuff but those images have been haunting me for a long time.

Very very sad and I am happy a lot has changed since then.

It seemed pretty horrible and not at all nostalgic to me from the article.

> nearly inedible, watered-down food

> Hepatitis B and HIV/AIDS ravaged the Romanian orphanages

> naked children on benches

> overcrowded rooms where [...] orphans endlessly rocked, or punched themselves in the face, or shrieked

And at one point I think the article does draw a comparison with the liberation of nazi concentration camps?

Not sure were you get the nostalgia from.
