The
Museum of Genocide Victims
 The Chronicle
of Violence: Lithuania in 1939–1941
The latest travelling exhibition put on by the Museum of Genocide Victims
is devoted to the 65th anniversary of June 1941. On display are documents
and photographs, which demonstrate under what circumstances Lithuania lost
its independence, the beginning of the reprisals and the Sovietisation of
the country. The exhibition highlights the dramatic events of Black June,
when, in the course of several days, about 18,000 people, old people and
children among them, were put on to cattle wagons and deported to Siberia.
