Kannatuste rada, Memorial of the Path of Suffering in Kesklinna district, Tallinn, Estonia.
This stone memorial features an inscription that translates to 'Here began the path of suffering for thousands of Estonians' and commemorates victims of totalitarian regimes.
Established in 2018, the memorial honors over 75,000 Estonians who were murdered, imprisoned, or deported during the Soviet occupation from 1940 to 1991.
The site serves as a place of national collective memory where Estonian citizens can reflect and remember the political persecutions endured under the communist regime.
The memorial is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 to 22:00, Friday until 23:00, Saturday from 11:00 to 23:00, and Sunday from 10:30 to 17:00.
The memorial includes a symbolic garden with apple trees and bees that represent peace and safety in contrast to the suffering being commemorated.
