Küüditamise lood: Siber 1941
Stories of Deportation: Siberia 1941

Summary/Abstract: In spring 2001, on the 60th anniversary of the first wave of Soviet deportations, Lennart Meri, the then President of the Republic of Estonia and the acknowledged historian and writer, announced a campaign for schoolchildren for collecting memories about deportation. The general idea behind the campaign was that our children, the next generation, need to collect the memories of their grandparents in order to get acquainted with and to write down their own history: the history of their family, their nation, their homeland. The outcome of the campaign exceeded everyone's expectations. The article introduces a selection of the materials collected and recorded by 50 schoolchildren.
