For Estonia, the Second World War was a period of the most severe losses. During this time, the country fell under both Nazi and Communist occupation. The population losses were so great that the number of ethnic Estonians in Estonia has still not returned to the pre-war level. While one aggressor – Germany – has publicly apologized for its actions, the other – Russia – continues to refuse to acknowledge historical facts, let alone apologize for the injustices committed. This makes the study of this complex historical period continually relevant. Published in several languages, the book offers an easily accessible overview of the period in question.
