Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom Museum

In 1944, nearly 80,000 people fled Estonia, fearing a repeat of the horrors of the first year of occupation. Who were those who decided to go? Why did they go? What did they feel? What did they risk when fleeing and what awaited them in their new place of residence? What were the difficulties of adaptation in a new country? How did they keep their culture alive abroad? These are the questions to which the museum class seeks answers. The class helps to understand the main challenges of refugees and to better understand them.
