Exiled from their homelands, imprisoned in prisons and forced labour camps, they wanted one thing – to return to Lithuania as soon as possible. For those who were determined to do so, many challenges awaited ahead that could not be foreseen in advance. During the educational session you will find out what the reasons were for attempted escapes, who decided to escape, what obstacles had to be overcome while escaping, what was waiting the escapees if they were recaptured by Soviet security officers and whether there were any successful escape stories. A discussion takes place at the end of the session.
