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 Lithuanias 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.
