84 years ago, on June 14, the Soviet occupiers began the mass deportations from Lithuania. On this Day of Mourning and Hope, 🇱🇹 honor the memory of the hundreds of thousands of Lithuanians who were torn from their homes, families, and homeland by totalitarian Kremlin regime. Children, parents, intellectuals—entire generations—were deported in cattle cars to the unknown, condemned to hunger, suffering, and death. Their broken lives became the price of our lost freedom. But Lithuania did not surrender. Through resilience and courage, our people endured and reclaimed liberty. The pain of the past became the seed of our freedom. We remember. We carry their names, their stories, their truth. And we vow: never again.
