Allehelramajakeluun

Allehelramajakeluun, also known as the "All Saints' Day Massacre," was a significant event in Estonian history that occurred on November 1, 1941. It was a mass execution of approximately 1,000 Estonian civilians, primarily members of the Estonian Army and other anti-Soviet forces, by the Soviet NKVD. The event took place in the town of Alle, Estonia, which was then under Soviet occupation.

The massacre was ordered by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin as part of his broader campaign to eliminate perceived threats to Soviet rule in the Baltic states. The victims were rounded up and executed in a series of mass shootings, with many of the bodies being buried in mass graves. The event is considered one of the darkest chapters in Estonian history and has been the subject of much debate and research.

The Allehelramajakeluun has been commemorated in Estonia as a reminder of the country's struggle for independence and the atrocities committed during the Soviet occupation. It is also a reminder of the importance of preserving historical memory and truth. The event has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and exhibitions, and is an important part of Estonian national identity.
