May I remind the Members of this tragic episode. 32 years ago. on June 14. 1941. when the Soviet Union began to execute its policy of genocide in the Baltic nations. These three small republics. Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. had been annexed to the huge Soviet Empire a year earlier. Tens of thousands of the Baltic people were killed and about a million were deported to Siberia and other areas. During the following 4 years. the Baltic lands formed part of the battleground as the erstwhile allies. the National Socialists of Germany and the Communists of Russia. fought against each other. Those Estonians.
