Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
Red Terror on the Amber Coast documents the
fifty-year-long struggle between the people of Lithuania and the
Soviet KGB and their predecessors to impose Soviet control on a
free and democratic, Western republic. Using filmed
interviews, archival photos and newsreel footage, it describes
Stalin's use of state-sponsored terror to destroy opposition,
collectivize agriculture and industry, and create a single social
class all under party control. Some interviews record the
long-term, armed resistance by organized partisans to the KGB and
its troops. Others describe their experiences - as adults and
children - of arrest, imprisonment, deportation to Siberia and the
Arctic coast, and years as slave laborers in the mines and forests
of the Far East.
