Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I muri i te hanganga o te Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic i te Hurae 1940, ka peia a Gens mai i tana mahi. Kaore i taea e ia te whiwhi whakaaetanga mahi, kaore hoki i whakaaetia kia noho tonu ia ki Kaunas. I haere ia ki te noho ki tana tuakana, a Solomon, i Vilnius, ahakoa kei runga a Gens i te raarangi kia tukuna ki nga puni mahi a te Soviet, i taea e ia te whakarite i tetahi mahi kore rehitatanga i te tari hauora o Vilnius na roto i tetahi hoa hoia tawhito, a Colonel Juozas Ūsas. Kāore a Gens i runga i te rārangi utu ā-ture, arā, kāore i tika kia whakamōhiotia te kaitohutohu tōrangapū i whakawhiwhia ki te hōhipera mo tana mahi. I te marama o Hune 1941, i te wā i whakaraua ai nga mano o nga rangatira o Lithuania ki Hiberia
I noho huna tonu a Gens, ā, kāore i whakahokia atu.
