By mid1940 helpless Lithuania lay at the feet of her invaders. Red army troops. and her people enslaved under Communist tyranny. Then the new masters of Lithuania made a clean sweep of all Lithuanian leaders. they all were arrested. imprisoned and. in many cases without the knowledge of their relatives and friends. shipped to faroff comers of Asiatic Russia. There in these desolate and inhospitable lands these innocent Lithuanians have been suffering for more than two decades. Today we do not know of their unenviable lot. but in observing the anniversary of their deportation by Soviet authorities. we think of them as the victims of Soviet inhumanity toward true lovers of liberty and freedom.
