Museum of occupations
and freedom fights

The exhibition is located in the 3rd cell of the former KGB prison, where there is still writing on the walls that people who were imprisoned in this building by the Gestapo during the Nazi occupation wrote in 1942–1944. The exhibition in this small space sheds light on the Nazi occupation of Lithuania – the Gestapo prisonand its prisoners, the history of the Vilnius Ghetto, and the mass murder site in Paneriai. Visitors can become acquainted with the exploratory research that was commissioned by the Genocide and Resistance Research Centre of Lithuania to be carried out in a forest park in the Paneriai forestry district in 2008. In the exhibition, an honourable place is given to the Righteous Among the Nations – Lithuanian Gentiles who rescued Jews during the Holocaust. Įkaitai. 1941 m. liepa (“Hostages. July 1941”) – a documentary film created by director Algis Kuzmickas for this exhibition – is shown on a screen.
