SUMMARY:Opening of the Memorial in Remembrance of the Mass Flight of 1944 and Related Events in Pärnu and Tallinn.
DESCRIPTION:The Estonian World Council\, in collaboration with the City of Pärnu\, is honored to announce the unveiling of a memorial sculpture dedicated to the generation of Estonians who were forced to flee their homeland during the Mass Flight of 1944.
