At the Maximilian Kolbe Museum of the Victims of Fascism, a guided tour was held that brought together participants from different cities and countries: Petrozavodsk, Chelyabinsk, the Irkutsk Region, and Finland.
The conversation turned out to be open and sensitive and left no one indifferent. The participants discussed the difficult topics of the Finnish-fascist concentration camps, the partisan movement in Karelia, and German prisoners of war in Petrozavodsk. War and its consequences are always pain not only for those who lived through it, but also for the following generations.
The museum is the result of many years of cooperation between a former prisoner of German concentration camps, Petrozavodsk resident Vadim Mizko, and a former Wehrmacht soldier, Tübingen resident Dankwart Paul Zeller.
The organization thanks all participants for their sincere interest and the exchange of knowledge and emotions. The tour was conducted by Ekaterina Yakovleva.
