This afternoon at the 🇱🇹 National Museum: the first presentation of the book ‘Escaping Stalin’ written by 🇩🇰 Brian Rasmussen and Thomas G. Svaneborg. Special guest was Algirdas Tamasauskas, who fled 🇱🇹 to 🇩🇰 with his mother in 1945. The memories are painful but need to be told.

At the 🇩🇰 embassy we gathered everybody who has contributed to our public events highlighting the history of flight from the Soviet regime to Denmark. A big thank you for making our 🇪🇺 Presidency cultural flagship project happen. There is more to come 🇱🇹🇩🇰

The ‘Escape from Stalin’ is a dramatic story of how repression causes people to flee their homeland in favour of countries with freedom and democracy. At the Mykolas Romeris University today, the discussion focused on the treatment of refugees and the hardship of building a new life in 🇩🇰.

During 1944-45, families from Estonia🇪🇪, Latvia🇱🇻, and Lithuania🇱🇹 crossed the Baltic Sea to seek refuge in Denmark🇩🇰. ‘Escape from Stalin’ brought back memories of escape, exile, and life in Denmark yesterday at the Adamkus Library-Museum in Kaunas.
