Genocide museum

This genocide museum is also listed as the KGB museum but most of it is dedicated to the atrocities committed by the Germans and Soviets in the forties and how the Lithuanian partisans fought back. One room is dedicated to the Jewish genocide and you almost get the impression it's an afterthought. But really this is a KGB museum because in the basement is an old KGB prison together with tiny holding cells, punishment cells, a padded torture cell and finally further below an execution chamber where apparently 1000 people were shot. It was all very sobering, especially when you consider this was a building on the Gedimino Prospektas where people would pass by possibly without any knowledge of what went on below. Altogether it was an unusual mash up of state sponsored crimes but then this area ha experienced quite its fair share of horror.
