History register · custodian, not owner
A tsarist fortress in Kaunas repurposed by the Nazis as a site of mass execution: between 45,000 and 50,000 Jews were murdered there between 1941 and 1944, among them deportees from France, Austria, and Germany. The state museum traces the Kaunas massacre, the liquidation of the ghetto, and the spectacular escape of 64 prisoners in December 1943. The site preserves the execution pits and an imposing commemorative monument erected in 1984.
