In the Baltic Sea Region we have a particularly difficult history to deal with, if we look at the last 90 years. After the end of WWI and the old order – “Die Welt von Gestern” – the Baltic region saw bloody revolutions, terrible civil wars, fascism, communism, genocide, occupations, oppression, terrorism, deportations – you name it, in our part of the world we have indeed had our share of all the horrors of the modern history.
L’histoire des 90 dernières années, après la fin de la première guerre mondiale et de l’ancien monde – “ Die Welt von Gestern ” –, a été particulièrement douloureuse pour la région : révolutions sanglantes, terribles guerres civiles, fascisme, communisme, génocide, occupation, oppression, terrorisme, déportations… en somme, tous les fléaux de l’histoire moderne.
