The little Baltic state was established as an independent nation in 1918. only to have its freedom and existence snuffed out in 1940 by the Soviet Union which has since enslaved its people and destroyed every vestige of their independence. In the years since 1940. the people of Lithuania have paid a tremendous toll in human suffering and destruction at the hands of a ruthless oppressor. The culture of this little Baltic country is gradually being wiped out. its churches destroyed. and its people are subject to mass purges and deportations. Yet. despite all this suffering and subjugation. the spiritual and moral resources of the Lithuanian people have not been exterminated. nor has its indomitabl6 desire for national freedom been extinguished. The fake annexation of Lithuania and the other Baltic states has never been recognized by the United States.
