Extractions: "History of the Lithuanian Language" (Z.Zinkevicius) Period of Occupations W orld War II began on September 1, 1939. A large part of the world was drawn into the war and more than 50 million lives were lost. Before this war began, on March 22, 1939 Hitler's Germany occupied the Klaipeda territory. The pact formulated by V. Molotov and J. Ribbentrop on August 23rd with its attendant secret protocols sealed the fate of the Baltic countries, including Lithuania, and condemned them to death. On September 19th the Russian Red Army occupied Vilnius and, shortly thereafter, the entire Lithuanian territory which had been occupied by Poland. They acted as though they were in enemy territory and stole and destroyed all they could. They arrested many inhabitants and were preparing to create "socialism". A ccording to the October 10th treaty of mutual aid, Lithuania regained its capital Vilnius and approximately a fourth of the territory formerly occupied by Poland. Stalin incorporated the remaining territory into the Byelorussian SSR. A ccording to the same treaty Lithuania was required to allow the "temporary" installation of Red Army garrisons: a true Trojan horse in her territory. The recovered Vilnius territory was not as economically advanced as independent Lithuania and it was difficult to integrate it. The regrettable results of Polonisation came to light. Many people who identified themselves as Lithuanians no longer spoke their ancestral language. They tried to learn it, attended classes and Lithuanian schools. However, Polish activists did their utmost to ensure that Polonisation would continue, that it would remain just as it was during the period of Polish occupation.

The Baltic Amber Bibliography project was conceived at the September 2001 Baltic Amber in Natural Sciences, Archaeology and Applied Arts Conference held in Vilnius, Lithuania. Contributors from Lithuania have submitted the following bibliographic material, which has appeared in Amber in Lithuanian Archaeological Literature , and was reproduced with permission. Special thanks to Aura Burkauskiene, the Library Director at the Vilnius Art Academy, for creating the digital files and Audrone Bliujiene for creating the bibliography. This bibliography covers the period of amber literature from 1792 to 2001 , including references to amber artifacts, trade routes and amber collections owned by museums. Adolfas Tautavicius' "Lietuvos archeologijos bibliografija" (Bibliography of Lithuanian Archeology, 1782-1998) served as an important work for this compilation. This project is under construction! I welcome more Lithuanian amber references to add to this list (email to
