The previously unpublished materials from Russian archives shock even 60 years after the events had taken place. Death seems to be a happy deliverance when contemplating the sufferings and torture, that the innocent citizens of Lithuania had to endure during the years of the Nazi occupation. Reading the evidence of the eyewitnesses, one understands, why people would ask for death in order to stop the monstrous torture and insult they were subjected to. Not only the hated Soviet and party functionaries, who were "guilty" of establishing the Soviet regime in Lithuania, not only the Jews who are always "guilty" of everything for the mere reason of being Jewish, but also the Polish, clergy, people with mental disorders, old people, and babies - all of them were totally eliminated. Lithuania was turned into a "factory of death". The documents in this collection constitute a tiny part of the wealth of material found in the archives of Russia, Lithuania, Germany and other countries.
