For me, freedom means the ability to be who you want to be.Sten Tamkivi,

“Never Again!” This was my mother’s reason to found a museum documenting the Soviet and Nazi occupations. Vabamu’s purpose is to inspire, promote and preserve freedom, showcasing the resistance of the Estonian people to these repressions and the subsequent rise of a vibrant, free Estonia.Sylvia Thompson,
Daughter of Olga Kistler-Ritso -
Estonian World War II refugees and their descendants ensured that Estonia was never forgotten by the free world. Their hard work, dedication, and belief in freedom must be recorded in Estonian history.Marju Rink-Abel,
President of the Estonian World Council
