About the album
  • ""Starting in 2009, after my first visit in Riga, I became interested in the fate of the Jews in the Baltic States during the war. I returned several times to Latvia and also visited Estonia and Lithuania. In 2013 while in Riga, I went to see the Rumbula Memorial to see for myself what that well-known and fateful place looked like. That year in Vilnius, I visited the Ponár (Paneriai) memorial site, another of those well-known fateful places [...] So, as I am an amateur flutist, I decided that another way to express personal commemoration of the Jewish victims was to compose a number of solo flute pieces intended to musically convey what the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were killed by the Nazis and their henchmen went through during the whole period of the war and, above all, during their last moments on this earth"-- Roland Binet, Defending history.
