PANERIAI MEMORIAL

Located about ten kilometers from Vilnius, it was in this camp that 100,000 people, including 70,000 Jews, were massacred between 1941 and 1944. At the entrance to the forest, you can visit the memorial and the Genocide Museum, opened in 1960. The exhibition includes photos of the camp and its victims, clothing, personal objects and documents from the period. The monument with its Yiddish and Russian inscriptions was erected by Holocaust survivors in 1948. It disappeared in 1952 and was later re-erected in memory of the victims of the "fascist terror".
