Almost a third of a century has elapsed since the people of that small republic lost their national independence and their individual freedoms. Our Nation has never recognized the conquest of Lithuania and its sister republics Estonia and Latvia. and I hope it never will. Those of the Lithuanian people who have not been murdered or deported have not accepted the absorption of their nation by the Soviet Empire. although it is all but impossible for them to protest effectively. Two million Americans of Lithuanian stock have not accepted the obliteration of their ancestral home from the map of Europe. Like their friends and relatives across the sea they hope and pray that the hell of communism will. like the earlier hell of national socialism. soon come to an end.
