Welcome back to EstoCast, we hope you enjoyed the summer! As this is the year of multiculturalism in Estonia, we’re continuing on with that theme but there’s also another important occasion that we’re marking in our episodes here this fall - the 80th anniversary of the Great Escape of 1944. We’ll be having guests in the studio that both have first-hand experience of the Great Escape and with younger generations to understand what the impact of the Great Escape has been on them.
In the second episode of our fresh fall season, we’re speaking with a young, active member of diaspora Estonian communities, Maiki Müürsepp. Up for discussion are topics such as what Maiki’s persepective of the Great Escape of 1944 is and the importance of global Estonian communities, specifically in North America.
In this latest episode, you’ll hear about the following:
🇪🇪 how different perspectives factor into an active, multicultural society
🇪🇪 why keeping the story of the Great Escape of 1944 relevant and at the forefront is important
🇪🇪 how the Great Escape has affected Maiki both directly and indirectly as a third-generation descendant of refugees
🇪🇪 and much more!
