Near Panevėžys, Lithuania, about 1942. Here's another scene from the farm that was Mr. Irene's Dad's boyhood home. Mr. Irene's Dad stands on the far right, with his hand on his hip. His mother, Veronica, is the second woman from the left. Older brother Ignas is in the background—he's the one wearing eye glasses. Younger brother Stacey is the little boy in the front. The man with his elbow on Mr. Irene's Dad's shoulder is the Farm Manager.
After the Soviets occupied Lithuania in 1944, they seized and redistributed the farm property.
The Soviets also emptied the banks of citizens' savings accounts. They considered savings accounts "bourgeoisie."
