March 25 is coming. We are remembering March 25, 1949, when 42,125 of inhabitants were deported from Latvia. 10,987 of them were children under the age of 16. In 2022, the foundation published the book “Children of Siberia 1949”, which contains the life stories of 165 people who were taken to Siberia as children on March 25, 1949. The book contains maps of the areas, descriptions and photographs from personal archives attached to each interview.
