The process was interrupted by the Nazi invasion and control of the area. which naturally took its toll on the people as well. With the Soviet resurgence and recapture of Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. the genocide continued through World War II and up to 1949. When it ended. the cost to the Balts was onetenth of their population in deaths and deportations. I wish to make the point today that we cannot permit genocide to become an accepted political policy of any State at any time. The only way to do this is to recognize and remember all the genocidal actions that have occurred in the past. whether the victims were Armenians.
