Lithuania, a nation of more than three million people, was the very first of the former Soviet republics to declare its independence from the Soviet Union. During the 50 years of Soviet occupation, Lithuanians cling to their language as a not-so-quiet form of rebellion. Today, as Worldfocus correspondent Daljit Dhaliwal and producers Sally Garner and Ara Ayer report, they want to protect it — not from an occupying force, but from other languages.

www.TravelsWithSheila.com Lithuania is 90% Catholic but did you know that crosses were used in Pagan times and Lithuania didn't convert to Christianity until the 1400's? Interesting. The Hill of Crosses is located near Siauliani and it is estimated that over 50000 crosses and rosaries stand on a small hill. The Germans and Russians bulldozed the site many times trying to stamp out religion but the crosses kept reappearing. Erected in memory of those exiled to Siberia, killed by the Russians and Nazis and those who died in the name of freedom in Poland and other countries.

This is the HD video seen on NoobToob episode 197. Just to clarify - even though sold only in electronics shops, the games we showed are completely legal and look all nice and nitty. Why no one buys them is the high price. The illegal games are imports from Russia. They are outdated, stupid, cost like five bucks and no one wants them (though I MAY have bought Heroes IV like that). PS Elektromarkt is based in San Fransisco :P

Dedication The Hope and Spirit series is dedicated to the millions of victims of Soviet deportations--the men, women and children from all Soviet-occupied nations, and of all nationalities, religions, and races--who suffered two indignities: the brutality of forced exile, imprisonment, starvation, torture, and genocide, and the injustice of the subsequent denial, minimization and suppression of their suffering and victimization. All of Elena Juciute's original material was graciously provided by the Lithuanian Research and Studies Center, Chicago. We would like to acknowledge the assistance of LRSC staff members, Dr. Augustinas Idzelis, President, Ms. Kristina Lapienyte, Executive Director, and Ms. Skirmante Migliniene, Archives Director. Above all, we would like to thank Ms. Irena Balzekas for translating the text and installing this exhibit. Hope and Spirit exhibit and program Curated by Audrius V.

www.TravelsWithSheila.com A walking tour around Kaunas with a new guide. The old town is very walkable, only about 3 km from one end to another and has more museums than a person could visit in a lifetime. A devil's museum, art, children's literature, war, folk music, gemology and on and on. The tour ended at one part of town and ex-Marine and I raced back to the beginning to visit St. George's Church, used as a stable by the Germans. Back in the bus, headed to Trakai...
