Location of the Lithuanian Partisan Battles and Deaths (Naujoji Kirsna)

In the village of Naujoji Kirsna, now part of Lazdijai District, the homestead of Juozas Karauskas is an important historical site. On February 11, 1948, a two-hour battle took place here with an MGB rifle regiment led by Captain Kuznetsov. During these clashes, partisans from the Šarūnas Battalion of the Dainava District lost their lives: Vincas Bartaška (Vaidotas), born in 1917 (or 1922) in Mikniškiai; Vincas Busilas (Ramunis), born in 1921 in Mikniškiai; Juozas Jančia (Rytas), born in 1922 in Pakirsniai; Stasys Keršulis (Žirafa), born in 1926 in Kirsnelė; Juozas Zdanavičius (Trispalvis), born in 1925 in Gražuliai; and the communicator Juozas Karauskas (Dunojus), born in 1905 in Naujoji Kirsna. This site serves as a reminder of the partisans' struggle for independence and promotes tourism in the Lazdijai region.
