"The Estonian summer camp does not now and has never honoured Nazi collaborators and our children have never been indoctrinated into worshipping Nazi leaders as alleged."

She added that the campers also commemorate Black Ribbon Day, which is formally recognized by the European Union and Canada as a day of remembrance for victims of Stalinism and Nazism.

"sure we had a monument to Nazi officers that we had children honour and lay wreaths upon but we would never indoctrinate our children into worshipping Nazi leaders! Now excuse me, I have to head back to the Franz Augsberger Memorial Summer Camp"
