The Ninth Fort, part of the 19th-century Kaunas Fortress in Lithuania, bears a somber history from World War II. During the Nazi occupation, it served as a Jewish extermination camp where over 30,000 people were killed. Today, the site stands as a museum and memorial, preserving the memory of those who perished. Visitors can explore the preserved structures and exhibitions that offer a poignant and educational experience, providing insight into one of the darkest chapters of Lithuania’s past.
