Harri Haamer (also Harry Haamer, 8 July 1906 \u2013 8 August 1987) was a pastor, writer and cultural historian.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHaamer was born in Kuressaare in Saaremaa Island as the son of an official. From 1914\u20131918, he attended Alexey and German gymnasiums and from 1918\u20131924 Saaremaa Coeducational Gymnasium, all in Kuressaare. From 1924\u20131929, he studied theology at the University of Tartu. After ordination, Haamer worked from 1929\u20131933 as pastor of P\u00fcha congregation in Saaremaa, from 1933\u20131948 of Tartu St Paul\u2019s and from 1955 to his death of Tarvastu congregation. From 1929, he was the first secretary for youth work at the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church and one of the ideologues of the Boy Scouts movement. From 1933\u20131938, he edited the magazine Meie S\u00f5ber and published numerous articles on the Boy Scouts movement.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough Harri Haamer did not serve the German occupation forces during World War II, the Soviet authorities punished him with deportation to Siberia in 1948, as he refused to obey the order to stop teaching the Christian message to young people. From 1948\u20131954, he was in forced labour camps in Siberia, from 1954\u20131955 in banishment. From 1962\u20131970, Haamer worked as lecturer of Old Testament and Semitic languages at the Institute of Theology of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church. He was dismissed from this post on the demand of KGB.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHarri Haamer made his debut in print in 1925 and, from that time onwards, published articles, short stories, memories and spiritual reflections. Haamer\u2019s first book was the short monograph Rudolf Kallase elulugu<\/em> (\u2018Biography of Rudolf Kallas\u2019) published in 1929. He has written numerous ethically wakeful children\u2019s and youth books most of which he illustrated himself. Part of them were translated into German and prepared for publishing in print in Germany by Haamer\u2019s colleague, pastor Gustav Haller who emigrated from Estonia in 1939. Haamer has also published collections of sermons. Some of the children\u2019s books and spiritual texts remained in manuscript.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHarri Haamer\u2019s memories of Siberia appeared posthumously in 1993 under the title Meie elu on taevas<\/em> (\u2018We Shall Live in Heaven\u2019). The book has also been published in Finnish, Russian, German and English. The book reveals the author\u2019s philosophical look at the contradictions between power and spirit.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
