Juozas Luksa was born into a farming family in southern Lithuania in 1921. After Lithuania became incorporated into the Soviet Union, he joined the anti-Soviet resistance movement. In 1947 he crossed the Iron Curtain to seek support for Lithuanian independence abroad. In 1950 he went back to Lithuania where he was killed by the Soviet security forces in 1951
