A monument dedicated to Lithuanian deportees who endured suffering and perished in Yakutia between 1942 and 1956 has been erected on Aukų Street in Vilnius, near the Museum of Genocide Victims. Created by sculptor Jonas Jagėla and architect Algis Vyšniūnas, the monument symbolizes the deportees' suffering, spiritual resilience, and indomitable hope.
The monument's journey was challenging—initial plans aimed to install it in Yakutsk, but political circumstances prevented this. Ultimately, a fitting location was found in Vilnius. The unveiling ceremony was attended by high-ranking Lithuanian officials, and the monument was blessed by Cardinal Audrys Juozas Bačkis. This monument has become a significant site commemorating the history of deportees and preserving the memory of the nation.
