Amen, brother.

What am I looking at? A military building? Research center?

Does this say Lithuanian Radio now?

these are so different.

Memorial is gone :'(

The old photos are why my grandma never wanted to return to Lithuania. She lived through WWI & left ASAP after. She was an American citizen but grew up in Lithuania. She was born in September 1906. Her father died in a coal mine in early 1907. Her mom took her back to Lithuania, thinking her money would go farther. She married a drunk/farmer. Grandma lived to 100 years, 8 months to the day. They used to hide in the forest near their orchard. Soldiers would come up behind them, signal shhhhhh & ambush the army walking on the road in front of their farm. Grandma knew the soviets would have changed things too much. She had traveled to the Russian oblast where we adopted our kids! She knew Königsberg. Yes, now Kaliningrad. Our daughter was in Sovietsk, on the Neman River. She saw our photos & said, I’m happy I have American grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Amazing

'To Free Lithuania!'

Those are not trash in fron of the Parlament - it's barricades

and now, it's a library

I am from Vienna and I have the feeling, that we, as a society, are taking peace and democracy for granted and we so easily forget, how fragile and precious it is. Thank you for building awareness.

This might be a hospital? Maybe a temporary hospital?

Again - no memorial...

What are those things sticking out of the pyramid?

what building is this?

what is this place?

better now

Written on wall: Red Troops Dirty Swines!

So brave of your father to take photos while the tanks were rolling in.

Amazing photos thank you for sharing.

Sad about the memorials being gone (both the formal and the informal marking of where people died)... But otherwise very touching. Btw, here's a great (and instructive) meme about the fragility and preciousness of freedom and democracy: 1spm26.jpg
