The aim of the lesson is to understand the course of the deportations carried out by the Soviet authorities in 1941 and 1949 and the lives of people in exile.
Under the guidance of a guide, students will have the opportunity to learn about the occupation and repressions carried out by the Soviet regime, using the family stories available in the exhibition, taking a closer look at the deportations to places of imprisonment and settlement. Students will learn about the causes, course and consequences of deportations. The greatest attention is paid to the analysis of historical sources, searching for answers to the question - how to survive and maintain self-respect in harsh conditions?
