SUMMARY:Happy Restoration of Estonian Independence Day! Head taasiseseisvumispäeva!
DESCRIPTION:The restoration of Estonia’s independence was a pivotal moment in the country’s history\, marking the end of over five decades of Soviet occupation. On August 20\, 1991\, the Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia declared the illegal Soviet occupation and annexation of the country terminated\, and proclaimed the full restoration of the independence of Estonia. This declaration was made at 23:02 local time and was followed by a series of events that led to the international recognition of Estonia’s independence. The day is now celebrated annually as the Restoration of Independence Day (Taasiseseisvumispäev)\, a day of national pride and remembrance of the country’s freedom. Estonia’s Independence Day is Feb 24th.  \n\n\n\nPlease scroll down for the EANC statement in celebration of this important anniversary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEANC Greeting on the 34th Anniversary of the Restoration of the Republic of Estonia \n\n\n\nDear fellow Estonians in the United States\, friends and supporters\,  \n\n\n\nOn August 20\, 1991\, Estonia took back its freedom and restored its independence\, and so today we celebrate with pride and happiness. Estonia is free!  Breathe it in!   \n\n\n\nMany of us still remember the years before\, when our families were torn apart\, and those in Estonia lived under fear and constraint. We remember the bold actions of those who used every opportunity to work toward Estonia’s freedom. We remember how it felt to finally see our dream of a free Estonia come true. This freedom must never be taken for granted. \n\n\n\nWhether celebrating individually or in community\, we can pause to reflect on this recent history\, which took place within many of our lifetimes or those of our parents and grandparents. And surely\, we can be proud of Estonia’s accomplishments of the last 34 years\, as we share and promote our culture here.  The anniversary of restored independence is also a good opportunity to consider how to respond outside of Estonia – specifically as Estonian Americans – to today’s international challenges.   \n\n\n\nIn that spirit\, we call on our elected officials and public servants to use the huge leverage held by the U.S. in this critical moment to shape a just and lasting peace for Ukraine\, to be a force for enduring global security\, including for Estonia and our Baltic neighbors.  Purposeful action and resolve will be required\, as well as a clear memory and accurate account of the recent past.   \n\n\n\nThis is also an appropriate week to remember other key moments in recent history. On August 23\, 1939\, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. It included a secret protocol that divided Eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence\, and ultimately put the sovereign nations of Estonia\, Latvia\, Lithuania forcibly and illegally under Soviet rule. While presented as a non-aggression pact\, this backroom deal effectively paved the way for World War II. To mark the 50th anniversary of this appalling occasion\, on August 23\, 1989\, two million Balts joined hands to form a human chain spanning more than 400 miles across the three Baltic countries\, a peaceful yet powerful demonstration with one demand: freedom for Estonia\, Latvia and Lithuania. Seen by the world\, the human chain became a critical milestone now called the Baltic Way — forever a touchpoint in the Baltics’ determined march to freedom from the Soviet Union. \n\n\n\nWe wish for Ukraine that which Estonia today enjoys – freedom\, security\, and the power to determine its own future. We hope that when Ukrainians celebrate their independence on August 24\, 2026\, Ukraine will be at peace and free of Russian occupation. \n\n\n\nThe Estonian American National Council calls on all Baltic Americans and our supporters to make their voices heard this week\, to remind  the policy makers and elected officials of our own recent history and experience with Russia\, as well as of the plight of everyday Ukrainians\, who are laying down their lives to defend their land\, nation\, and people against Russian aggression Whether it is by participating in an event\, or by directly contacting representatives or the press\, our collective and loud voices are needed now.   \n\n\n\nLong live freedom! Long live the Republic of Estonia!

SUMMARY:Film Screening @ NY Estonian House: Paradox of Seabrook Farms
DESCRIPTION:A special film screening of the documentary film “The Paradox of Seabrook Farms” by Merits Productions\, hosted at the New York Estonian House. This is an excellent overview and look into the times\, culture\, joys and struggles experienced at Seabrook Farms\, a place that many of us recognize as a hub of Estonian immigrants folowing the Mass Flight of 1944.  \n\n\n\nEANC is a proud supporter of this and other films by historian and filmmaker Helga Merits.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArrive for the matinee\, enjoy a discussion and Q&A with the director\, and stay for the following celebration of the 107th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia (Eesti Vabariigi 107. aastapäev)!  \n\n\n\nEnjoy the day at the New York Estonian House\, celebrating Estonian history and community.  \n\n\n\n11:45 – 1:15pm Documentary viewing1:15 – 1:40pm Q&A with director Helga Merits \n\n\n\nFilm Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fmaFK4j81k&t=48s \n\n\n\nFilm info: https://www.meritsproductions.com/…/the-paradox-of… \n\n\n\nThe Paradox of Seabrook Farms\, 1 hr 30 minutes.   \n\n\n\nThe history of the Seabrook family who created Seabrook Farms is similar to a Greek tragedy of betrayal — of creating and destroying possibilities — where behind the scenes\, each with their own heart-breaking story\, a diverse community of refugees and immigrants lived and worked.‍In the 1950s Seabrook Farms was the biggest frozen food processing plant in the US and it needed farm and factory labor. The largest group of workers consisted of over 2\,000 Japanese Americans who had been interned during the first years of the Second World War and had been looking for a new place to live. After the war refugees from many countries in Europe came to Sea-brook Farms\, amongst them were some 900 Estonians and 200 Latvians.‍They all had lost their homes and had to start again. Working at Seabrook farms meant seven day weeks with ever changing shifts\, work that was both physically and mentally draining. Amongst all the hardships they still found ways to keep up their cultural traditions and create new possibilities for their children.At the same time jealousy and distrust drove the Seabrook family apart. Instead of creating a future for his sons\, Mr Seabrook took it away from them. \n\n\n\nThe film sheds light on the puzzling history of the Seabrook family and their factory workers; people of different countries and cultural backgrounds who had no other place to go to. \n\n\n\nSeabrooki farmi asutajate perekonna ajalugu meenutab Kreeka tragöödiat. Selles on reetmist\, võimaluste loomist ja hävitamist. Samal ajal jagasid pagulastest ja sisserändajatest Seabrooki töötajad ühist südantlõhestavat lugu. 1950. aastatel oli Seabrooki farm suurim külmutatud toidu töötlemisettevõte Ameerikas. Edukaks toimimiseks tuli kasutada põllumajandus- ja tehase tööjõudu. Suurim tööjõugrupp koosnes üle 2000 Jaapani ameeriklasest\, kes olid teise maailmasõja algusaastatel Ameerikasse intergreerunud. Pärast sõda tulid Seabrooki taludesse tööle pagulased mujaltki\, paljud Euroopast. Nende hulgas oli umbes 900 eestlast ja 200 lätlast. Nad olid kõik kaotanud oma kodud ja pidid oma elu taas nullist üles ehitama hakkama. Töö Seabrooki taludes toimus seitse päeva nädalas\, mis oli nii füüsiliselt kui vaimselt kurnav. Kõigi raskuste keskel leiti siiski viise\, kuidas hoida oma kultuurilisi traditsioone ja luua järeltulijatele uusi võimalusi. Kadedus ja usalduse puudumine aga süvenes ja viis Seabrooki perekonna lõpuks lahku. Selle asemel\, et oma poegadele parem tulevik rajada\, otsustas härr Seabrook hoopis selle neilt röövida. Film heidab valgust Seabrooki perekonna ja nende tehase töötajate mõistatuslikule ajaloole – erinevatest riikidest ja kultuuridest pärit inimestele\, kelle jaoks Seabrooki farm oli ainus lootusekiir. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelga Merits is a documentary filmmaker with Estonian roots living in Holland. After completing a successful study of philosophy at the University of Amsterdam\, she went on to work as a newspaper and radio journalist in Holland and Belgium. It was during this period that the idea of making documentaries began to grow; image and sound\, as well as words\, were to influence her work from then on. \n\n\n\nHelga Merits: “In the end\, this is what it’s all about: to convey the story and make people enthusiastic\, hopeful and give them inspiration.”  (Eesti Elu\, 21 October 2017)
