In a word, astonishing, this extraordinary and gargantuan Soviet-era reinforced concrete memorial to the 30,000 Jews and others from Lithuania and abroad who were brutally murdered here during the Holocaust stands 32m high and at least three times as wide. The work of the sculptor A. Ambraziūnas, the monument was unveiled in 1984 on the site of the mass grave where the victims of the Nazis and their Lithuanian henchmen met their tragic fates.
