Alfred Käärmanni (1922–2010), the legendary Võruma forester, went to the forest as a young man after the start of the second Soviet occupation in the fall of 1944. A year later, he was wounded in the left hand by an explosive bullet in a raid and escaped with his life thanks to Latvian forest brothers who organized medical assistance. Alfred lost his left arm. Despite this, he managed to resist for another seven years, and only with a poisoned drink offered by a traitor who became an MGB agent, the forest brother was caught alive. He was sentenced to twenty-five years of forced labor, to this utopian sentence was added another five years of being sent to a settlement. Alfred was able to return to occupied Estonia in 1981, his persecution only stopped during the years of the singing revolution.

At the initiative of Alfred Käärmann, the principle written in the preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia is that the Estonian state and its constitution must ensure the preservation of the Estonian nation and culture throughout the ages.

Alfred Käärmann was one of the most active men in the restoration of independence in Võrumaa: he helped to re-establish the Defense League and was elected a representative of the Estonian Congress. He has published books, the most well-known of which are Against the Deadly Enemy (2000) and The Spirit of Freedom (2000). He has been awarded the medal of the Kotkarist IV class.

We all have to make choices in life, some more important than others. The point of studying history is to develop judgment. History provides an opportunity to look at the results of decisions made by predecessors. In the museum class, we reflect on the choices that Võrumaa's youth had in the 1940s. To immerse ourselves in the era, we try to step into the shoes of several real people, be it Alfred who went to the forest, Karl who escaped to Sweden or Aleksander who stayed at home. We think about what their choices were and what we would do in their place. The distance of 80 years from these events gives us the opportunity to know what the consequences of these choices were.

The exposition is multi-layered and intended for both students and those interested. Also, with foreign visitors in mind, the content is also available in English.

Groups can be guided by a guide who knows the history of each subject and its use. The relatively small space contains 1000+ exhibits, which are skillfully arranged and are easy for visitors to view without having to walk long ways and many floors. The core of the museum is the weapons of the 2nd world war conflict. Also on display are uniforms, ammunition, household items, aircraft wreckage, etc. The most precious and unique is the feldpost (field) letter correspondence between Oberlieutenant August and his beloved Marta during the five years of the war. Dialogue in letters between two people who love each other with a happy ending. In the background you can see the chronicle of those times. The expedition is not politicized, but divides the two warring parties equally. There is neither good nor bad here, maybe that's why it's easy to watch and visitors like it.
