The Distant Land of Siberia. Why March 25, 1949?
2021
52 min
Overview
On this date, more than 42,129 people were deported from Latvia to Siberia. In great secrecy, 31 trains with cattle cars were sent out in a single day. The deportations of 1949 were, in a sense, even more cruel than those of 1941, as one in four of those deported for life was a child, and one in six was over 60 years old. The film "The Distant Land of Siberia. Why March 25, 1949?" will tell about the reasons for the deportations and show the places of exile in Siberia. People who were deported as children will share their memories.
