KančiaThe SufferingMemorial to the victims of Nazi and Soviet occupation |
Juozas Genevičius
1997 |
Sculpture of a sitting prisoner with a steel wire around his head. It is similar to the old Lithuanian symbol - Pensive Christ; the difference is that instead of crown of thorns, a steel wire is strapped. In front of the sculpture are plaques with the names of the victims.
The house, on the crossroad I. Kanto and S. Daukanto Street, was once home to the Klaipėda division of the KGB. Cellars hold black history of torture, while interrogations were carried out in rooms of first and second floor.
