Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom Museum

In the museum lesson, we will discuss different forms of resistance during the Soviet occupation through personal stories, creating parallels with today's unfree societies. We will talk about Otto Tief's government, student resistance, the Forest Brothers, dissidents, foreign struggle, and the Singing Revolution. Using source analysis, we will seek answers to several questions. What motivated young people to remain true to their values, while risking a prison camp? What choices did the Forest Brothers' helpers face? What role did underground literature play in the resistance?
