Lithuanian National Cemetery is a small cemetery located on Kean Avenue in Justice, next to Archer Woods Cemetery. It is isolated, quiet, and peaceful.
Lithuania In the later days of the Russian occupation, Lithuanian activists published and demonstrated for independence. Several of those revolutionary heroes are buried here, in Chicago. World War II brought an end to independence, with the Germans controlling Lithuania again; in 1944 the Soviets took control. It was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union that Lithuania finally regained its independence in 1990.
