The Mindaugas-era hillfort, standing near Nemenčinė, testifies to the defensive fortress of the Grand Duke of Lithuania. However, this place also recalls the painful times of World War II when Nazis and their local
collaborators took the lives of hundreds of Jewish residents. The Jewish community living in Nemenčinė and its surroundings was brutally massacred, and their synagogue and school were burned.
A monument commemorating the Holocaust victims and the old Jewish cemetery are significant historical sites, bearing witness to past events and our responsibility to preserve and pass on these historical facts to future generations. The memorial, which draws commemorations and remembrance of the victims' stories each year, holds an important place in our collective memory.
