The freedom which Lithuania had gained on February 16. 1918 was lost when Hitler and Stalin -signed their nonaggression pact -and spelled the -doom of UAthuanias Independence. During -the course of World War II. the Soviets subjugated the -powerless Baltic nations and have kept them under bondage ever since. In the. process of .complete Sovietization many of the courageous Lithuanian people -were executed .and deported. However. it is encouraging .to note that despite the totalitarian techniques of terror the Lithuanians to this day -have steadfastly opposed the Soviet tyrant. The mere .fact that the Soviets have found it expedient to .use -these terror tactics is tangible evidence that the struggle for freedom -still exists in this -captive -country.
