The Lithuanians: The Baltic Way 03 -How it Began


The Baltic Way 03

How it all began:

The beginning of the Human Chain in Vilnius - from here the World found out about "The Baltic Way."
THE DAY WILL COME
The secret pact to divide Europe between Germany and Russia in 1939 was revealed. The Three Baltic States would not longer go along with the involuntary occupation and subjugation by Russia. They have no right.

The Three White Crosses Monument was rebuilt in Vilnius in 1989 having been blown up in 1959. Fragments of the crosses were collected and incorporated in the foundation of the rebuilt Monument of Crosses. Spontaneously Crosses started to return all
over Lithuania and about 50 large crosses appeared along the Baltic Way on the eve of the event or early that morning.

About 70,000 gathered on the eve of The Baltic Way event in Vilnius park.
