Darbėnai is home to one of the tragic Holocaust memorial sites. On June 29, 1941, German soldiers, under the command of their officers, carried out an execution that claimed the lives of approximately 150 men from the Darbėnai Jewish community and four captured Red Army soldiers. This atrocity serves as a painful reminder of the horrors of World War II and the fates of innocent lives.
The memory of the victims is honored with a commemorative stone, inviting visitors to pause, pay respects, and reflect on the history of this tragedy. This site has become an important space for remembrance and education, emphasizing the significance of understanding history.
