Flight, Displacement, Deportation

The Soviet deportations from the Baltic States to Siberia shaped countless lives and continue to influence collective memory. In the second event of our series Writing History, we explore how these traumatic experiences are reflected in literature and scholarship.

Translator Vytenė Muschick (Dalia Grinkevičiūtė’s "Shadows on the Tundra" (German: Aber der Himmel - grandios)), author Jurga Vilė (Siberian Haiku), and the MoveMeRU PI Félix Krawatzek will discuss how memories of exile, displacement, and deportation are passed down through generations—and why they remain relevant today.
