One night, Lithuanian nationalist partisans ("brothers of the forest") knocked on the door of the Kybartas' family home and asked for shelter. A shootout with Soviet soldiers ensued. Following this episode, soldiers interrogated the family, who were accused of having helped the partisans. They were deported to Siberia in December 1947.
