In spring 2024, Jewish Edmonton activist Paula Kirman and her creative partner Adam Bentley toured the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) and Finland .
They discovered a history-drenched frontier where, in our collective recent memory, this region faced two consecutive authoritarian occupations (Nazism and Soviet Communism) and is absolutely filled with monuments, place names, and reverence to Nazis.
After producing two attention-grabbing, grant-funded short documentaries exposing controversial monuments to Nazis and their collaborators in Edmonton – A Monumental Secret (2018) and Monumental Secrets (2022) – Paula and Adam ventured overseas at great personal expense to explore the question:
How are the Baltics coming to grips with their history of Nazi reverence amidst a desire to modernize as part of Europe and what can we learn from it?
