Escape game "Nickname Loneliness" Memorial site

One of the saddest pages of Latvian history began in the autumn of 1944, after the Red Army entered Latvia. In Latgale, the resistance of the population to the Soviet power, the communists and their supporters began. At that time, Antons Juhņevičs worked as a priest in the Vanagi parish – an unusually bright personality who combined a sharp mind, patriotism and deep faith in God. In his church services, he called for resistance to the Soviet power, this stubbornness and faith were like a driving force for him to join the National Resistance Movement and become one of its leaders.

In the lesson, students are offered to get to know Antons Juhņevičs - to walk through his historical trails (church, parish house), in the former Vanagi Elementary School, students are offered to actively participate and learn about the historical events of that time in a breakout game, after which they can watch the staged documentary film "Segvārds Vientulis" (Pseudo-Name Vientulis), shot in 2014 by director Normunds Pučis, where several well-known actors in Latvia play historical figures in the film.
