Shadows in the Baltic: When History Goes Silent
June 14, 1941. Fifteen-year-old Lina Vilkas sits at her desk writing a letter when Soviet officers pound on her family's door in Lithuania. Her mother Elena is granted just twenty minutes to pack before they're taken away. In the frantic moments that follow, Lina grabs clothes, family photos, and her precious art supplies. As they're marched through darkened streets to waiting trucks, neighbors peek through curtains but quickly hide. Inside the truck, familiar faces appear-a teacher, a librarian, a hotel owner-all apparently on the same mysterious "list." What kind of list could include newborns alongside professors? The answer would reveal itself in the nightmare ahead. This is how Ruta Sepetys' haunting narrative begins, illuminating one of history's forgotten tragedies-the Soviet deportation of hundreds of thousands of Baltic citizens during World War II. What makes this story particularly powerful is that it emerged from Sepetys' own family history-her father escaped Lithuania while other relatives were deported to Siberia, giving her a personal connection to a tragedy that remained hidden behind the Iron Curtain for decades.
