This book provides an insight into the clandestine activities that students of the Alūksne Gymnasium conducted as part of their youth resistance movements Tālavas sili and Dzimtenes sili in the middle of the 20th century in Latvia. These pages of post-World War II occupation history teach us what is love for one's homeland and self-sacrifice for one’s nation and country without asking anything in return. These young people demonstrated a lot of courage and confidence. For their devotion and love for their homeland they paid the highest price – with their freedom, as well as their lives.
