During the 1941 mass deportations by Russia, 1,505 Lithuanian men were sent to the icy Arkhangelsk region in the Russian Arctic for forced labour. After thirteen years, only 11 out of those 1,505 men returned home to Lithuania.
What happened to the rest?
That was one of the better-kept secrets of the 20th century, while the global media remained silent. However, the truth was always there. Stasys Jameikis, one of the eleven surviviors, spent the rest of his life writing down his experiences. His factual testimony is now presented here, for the first time in English translation.
