Comment
The idea of the Garden of Destiny came as a response to a heartfelt desire of the people to create a national memorial site in honour of those 600 thousand people of Latvia who suffered and perished during totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. On 7 June 2005, a group of initiators assembled to establish a foundation. The Koknese Foundation decided to create a memorial site symbolizing our nation's grief for the victims, commemorating their lives and resilience, but also inspiring us for the future. Vilis and Marta Vītols donated 640 thousand euro, thus forming the initial capital of the Foundation. Since its launching, 2.5 million euro have been invested in the project.
