Kóka Rozália's collection trips to Moldavia – final part Late Dec.,1977 – a trip to collect Bethlehem (christmas pagent plays) customs in Moldavia; in the village of Lészped, Kóka and her hosts were arrested, spent a night in jail and then escorted out of town. She was fortunately taken in by a family in the village of Klésze – alive with people going from house to house greeting neighbors and friends for the New Year. Later her Lészped hosts had to pay hefty fines for hosting foreign guests. Upon return to the village to reimburse the family, the people were afraid to speak to her. She was followed by Romanian detectives at home in Hungary, „fear moved into (her) life” – she didn't return to Moldavia for many years.
