June 15 is the 25th anniversary of the subjugation of the people of Lithuania by the Soviet Union. Early in 1940 a reign of terror began in that unfortunate country after invasion and occupation by the Red army. Those suspected of opposition to the Soviet Government were arrested. imprisoned. and shipped off to virtual slavery in distant parts of Asiatic Russia. Hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of Soviet inhumanity were thus deported. Tens of thousands died in exile under conditions of indescribable misery and suffering. It is impossible to determine how many of these helpless people still survive thousands of miles from their homelands.
