The aftermath of World War II sent thousands of Estonian refugees
into Europe. The years of Estonian independence (1917-1940) had
given them a taste of freedom and so relocation to displaced person
(DP) camps in post-war Germany was extremely painful. One way in
which Estonians dealt with the chaos and trauma of WWII and its
aftermath was through choral singing. Just as song festivals helped
establish national identity in 1869, song festivals promoted
cultural cohesiveness for Estonians in WWII displaced person camps.
A key turning point in hope for the Estonian DPs was the 1947
Augsburg Song Festival, which is the center point of this book. As
Estonian DPs dispersed to Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United
States these choirs and song festivals gave Estonians the
resilience to retain their identity and to thrive in their new
homes. This history of Estonian WWII DP camp choirs and song
festivals is gathered from the stories of many courageous
individuals and filled with the tenacious spirit of the Estonian
singing culture. This work contributes to an understanding of
immigration, identity, and resilience and is particularly important
within the field of music regarding music and healing, music and
identity, historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and music and
politics.
