Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom

This guide to the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom in Tallinn starts with a single number: the two hours Estonian families were given to pack before Soviet deportation trains rolled out in June 1941, and again in March 1949. It follows what people chose to take in that time, a sewing machine, a family Bible, a specific winter coat, and why. Standing at the foot of Toompea hill, you'll see the suitcases and bundles they carried, still creased from those hurried decisions.
