Hiiumaa ceremony marks 80th anniversary of Estonians' Great Flight in WWII

This fall will mark 80 years since the Great Flight (Suur põgenemine), also known as the Great Refugee Flight or Mass Flight, in which tens of thousands of Estonians fled westward to escape the advancing Red Army in September 1944. A ceremony was held at Kalana Yacht Marina on the island of Hiiumaa on Saturday to commemorate the exodus.
