| Description |
Information about the Museum of Genocide Victims in old town Vilnius: The museum is housed in the 19th century neo-classical mansion previously used as a court building. The main facade with a front entrance faces Gediminas Avenue. Throughout the Soviet era (1940 to 1941 and 1944 to 1991) the building was occupied by the Soviet repressive institutions such as the NKVD, NKGB, MGB, KBG while during the period 1941 to 1944, the Gestapo reigned in the building. Out of this building came the evil thoughts for the extermination of residents and persecution of the otherwise minded. The basement of the building served as a prison for the Nazis while the Soviets used it as a prison with an execution chamber inside. The stones of the plinth area of the edifice bear the names of the freedom fighters killed from 1944 to 1947. Apart from the museum visually displaying information on the Soviet occupation, the building houses the courts, the Genocide and Resistance Research Centre of Lithuania and the Lithuanian Special Archives where the former KGB archive documents are stored. |
