Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Oral history interviews with members of the Estonian diaspora who have lived under or fled from the Soviet and/or German occupation in Estonia; or migrated as a result of acts committed by these regimes. The interviews focus on the interwar Estonia and World War II events in the region, the interviewees' escape from the country during the war, and their life in German DP camps and the Western countries (United States, Sweden, Australia). Interviewees also reflect on what it means to be an Estonian, their ties with Estonia, national identity and all else concerned with Estonia. Subjects covered include Estonia, Estonian history, Baltic history, interwar Estonia, World War II (1939-1945), Soviet occupation, Nazi occupation, Soviet Army, crimes against humanity, refugees, DP camps, and the Estonian diaspora.

- Kogu Me Lugu is an Estonian oral history initiative launched in 2013 by the Unitas Foundation. The aim of the initiative is to raise national and international awareness of crimes against humanity committed by the German and Soviet regimes and about the impact of those regimes on Estonia’s history and the Estonian people. This is done through collecting and distributing the stories and memories of people who have lived under or fled from the Soviet and/or German occupation in Estonia; or migrated as a result of acts committed by these regimes. In 2014, Unitas Foundation partnered with Stanford Libraries in making 34 video testimonies with members of Estonian diaspora. The project was co-sponsored by Kistler-Ritso Foundation.
