The sworn testimony of 41 eyewitnesses of the Soviet terror of 1940 adds up to the most damning indictment of Soviet chicanery we have read to date. The Moscow New Times for August 12. 1953 had scoffed at the Kersten inquiry as a waste of money. since everyone knows that the Baltic States voluntarily asked to join the Soviet Union. The impressive procession of eyewitnesses disclosed a different picture. So do the valuable and revealing exhibits of treaties. military. death and deportation orders entered into the record. The record contains the testimony of a Catholic bishop. a prime minister. a defense minister. a commander in chief. a minister of education. Catholic and Lutheran clergymen. and teaching nuns.
