Toward the end of World War II. when Soviet troops reoccupied the Baltic States. the U.S.S.R. illegally incorporated these three small countries into its huge structure. This final defeat and elimination of the Nazi forces left the Communists in undisputed and complete control. Tens of thousands of the Baltic people were killed and about a million were deported to slave labor camps in Siberia and other areas of the Soviet Union. Since then. the Baltic people have suffered from the collectivization of their farms and the nationalization of their industries. They have suffered religious persecution and their children have been subject. through Soviet educational Institutions. to Communist brainwashing.
