Speaker. 43 years ago. on June 15. the Soviet Union forced its way into the Baltic States. illegally occupying the Lithuanian homeland. From June 14 through June 18. 1941. now termed the "Tragic June Day." the Soviet Unions plans for genocide against the Lithuanlans were actualized. During those 4 days alone. over 34.000 men. women. and children were ruthlessly shipped off to Siberian concentration camps. An estimated 700.000 additional IAthuanians were deported or murdered during the following decade. The Soviet Union to date has not been forced to recognize its heinous acts. Even though most of the Soviet policymakers acting at the time of the genocide are dead. the oppression continues.
