REVIEWS
Now it's time to remember with words. Paju's book is going to be a big contribution to this work, like her film has already been. Pia Ingström, Hufvudstadsbladet Newspaper
The time of shame is over. Suvi Ahola, Helsingin Sanomat Newspaper
By describing the fate of her mother - arrested, imprisoned, deported to the Gulag as a young woman - Imbi Paju has, in effect, told the story of an entire nation. Widely admired in her native Estonia and elsewhere, Memories Denied could bring that country's history alive for many others too. Anne Applebaum, Author of Gulag. A History
Imbi Paju's book refuses to allow people to be ereased from their past. [--] Memories Denied is a book in which people of many diverse cultures living in Estonia - Russians, Ingrians, Russian Old Believers, Jews - have differently accented memories, and it is a courageous statement on behalf of that very diversity. Ph. D. Tiina Kriss, Postimees Newspaper
Memories Denied is without question one of the books that will contribute to both the knowledge and the understanding of what our Estonian sister nation and the other nations that fell under the communistic oppression after the Second World War were confronted with. Dag Hartelius, Ambassador of Sweden in Estonia, Svenska Dagbladet
