A Tribute to My Father Vytautas Skuodis

"Never bend your head.
Always hold it high.
Look the world straight in the eye."

-Helen Keller



The journal and the collection of links is a tribute to my father Vytautas Skuodis. Most postings will lead you to the articles about his life's work or events in some way related to his causes - freedom of conscience and freedom of his beloved motherland LITHUANIA.

My father had suffered a severe heart attack in 2008 and never fully recovered, yet continued writing and publishing articles and books relevant to the modern culture and history. He had died one day before his latest book had to be introduced to the public. Thanks to people like Vytautas Benedict Skuodis the dream of FREEDOM will never die.
