Episode 5: The Last Survivor | Libretto Short Stories

from Chronicles from the Lake Ladoga Shores · host Libretto Orchestra

Vepsä hid in the marshes, breathing through a hollow reed while soldiers and dogs hunted above. He endured cold water and terror to become the last survivor of Lapinlahti's burning—the only witness to his village's annihilation. This is his story: the extremes of human endurance, the burden of being the sole carrier of memories no one else shares, and the duty to bear witness when everyone else is dead.🎵 Libretto Orchestra Music Albums: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube🌐 libretto.fi#folktales #folkfore #KarelianFolklore #laatokka #LakeLadoga #laatokankansantaruja  #KansantarujaLaatokanluoteisrannikolta #TheodorSchwindt
