Surely one of the darkest moments of human history. A tragic area with a tragic history. A sorrowful day that is a must see visit for everyone in the area. The memorial layout is rather well presented with each memorial well explained. There is no overall explanation of the layout available, though the small museum has some maps. The memorial museum itself is very well presented, with appropriate focus on the individuals and their stories as opposed to just the statistics.

Surprising place, especially because we knew nothing about the holocaust in Vilnius and it was, of course, very brutal. We complemented the visit the next day by going to the Painerai forest, which is where the executions took place.

Panerai was the wooded execution and pit-burial site of 100,000 Lithuanians, 70,000 of them Jews, plus Poles and Russians, by the SS Sonderkommando from 1941 to 1944. The grassed-over pits are preserved in a park-like setting with a small and moving museum about those who died and those who executed them.

(Translated by Google) A place forgotten and rarely included in trips to the Vilnius region. It's worth visiting - optimally when the micro museum is open (Original) Miejsce zapomniane i rzadko uwzględniane w wycieczkach na wileńszczyznę. Warto odwiedzić- optymalnie, gdy jest czynne mikro muzeum

Wonderful place, it had a peace feeling being quite apart and in a forest. Free to enter, has some nice monuments.

Gets upset all the time.

Sad and solemn place. Visit because we need to keep remembering the atrocities that have happened so we don’t let it happen again.

This is a hideous sight which is a burial ground for 100,000 souls, 70,000 of which are Jews. This is 1% of all the Jews murdered during the dark holocaust age. Yet, this pastoral looking wood is hidden so well, it took me an extra 40 minute of driving arround, using Maps and Waze apps, to find it. It is a 'must visit', if you have a Jewish soul.

Terrain always open. To visit the museum in the memorial park, you must make an appointment in advance with the Holocaust Museum in Vilnius, there is no staff on site.

(Translated by Google) The museum is now closed. It only opens when ordered separately - no need to lie, just what I was (Original) Muziejus dabar uždarytas.Tik atskirai užsakius atidaromas-nereikia meluoti, tik ką buvau

August. Heat. Forest. Silence. Birds are singing. Grasshoppers chirp. You sit on a bench near the obelisk and try to understand the scale of the tragedy that occurred in this place 82 years ago... Anxiety, horror, goosebumps... The place impresses with its tragedy... I advise everyone interested in this tragedy to read Ruta Vanagaite’s book “Ours.”
