June deportation
In the early hours of 14 June 1941 Soviet security forces began arresting and deporting about 10,000 people from all over occupied Estonia, including whole families with small children. They were loaded into freight cars at railway stations across the country, Tallinn's Baltic Station among them. Most of the men were sent to prison camps, where many died within a year; women, children and the elderly were exiled to Siberia. 14 June is now a national day of mourning in Estonia.

14. juuni varahommikul 1941 hakkasid Nõukogude julgeolekuorganid kogu okupeeritud Eestis vahistama ja küüditama umbes 10 000 inimest, sealhulgas terveid peresid koos väikeste lastega. Nad laaditi kaubavagunitesse raudteejaamades üle maa, sealhulgas Tallinna Balti jaamas. Enamik mehi saadeti vangilaagritesse, kus paljud surid aasta jooksul; naised, lapsed ja vanurid saadeti asumisele Siberisse. 14. juuni on Eestis praegu leinapäev.
