Prom that day to this. 20 years after that tragic event. we still do not exactly know the fate of these helpless and unfortunate people who were arrested. herded into freight cars and destined to incarceration. servitude. and even death in desolate parts of the Soviet Union. Today it is possible that some of these people. who survived the terrible years in exile. have returned to their homeland. but it is more probable that most of them have died in exile and misery. far away from their beloved homeland. In observing the 20th anniversary of that tragic event. the Soviet deportations of men. women. and children by the hundreds of thousands in 1940 from the Baltic States. we pray for the souls of these brave but helpless people.
