Hope On The Horizon
It was only in 1987 and Nadia found the opportunity to actually do so. She was attending a party when she was introduced to Constantin Panait. This man claimed that he defected to the United States of America and that he was already an American citizen. At the time, Nadia had no clue that Panait would change her life for good.
The Only Chance
Nadia put her life in his hands because he managed to obtain American citizenship. It was a risky endeavor but she nonetheless followed him in the hopes of escaping Romania. They were able to do this in 1989. First, they sneaked into Hungary and then Austria. They then entered Canada first before they finally made it to the United States. After just a matter of weeks, the Ceaușescu administration was deposed by the Romanian Revolution.
