Description

On August 26, 1941, in the Krakynė Forest, the Nazis and the White-Armed Men shot and buried more than two thousand Jewish people from Zarasai, Antalieptė, Salakas, Degučiai, and other surrounding areas. In 1950, a three-tiered obelisk was erected at this site in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
