'' Et minne fra et av de beryktede KGB fengsler fra vilnius. ''


The Museum of Genocide Victims (also known as the KGB museum)was founded in 1992. This is the only museum of this kind in the Baltic States founded in the same building where Soviet repressive institutions of NKVD and NKGB-MGB-KGB operated from the second half of 1940 right to August of 1991. The basement of the building houses the inside prison-isolator (special prison in the USSR for political detainees and espionage suspects) in which Lithuanian residents who were in disfavour with the occupation authorities were imprisoned from the autumn of 1940 right to 1987. Visitors can become acquainted with the exposition mounted in the place were death sentences were carried out. The former office of the Deputy Chief of the MGB (KGB) inside the prison, located on the ground floor of the Museum, displays documents, photographs, maps and other things showing the process of sovietisation of the country in 1940-1941. The exhibition devoted to the guerrilla war in 1944-1953 will acquaint the visitors with the territorial structure of partisan formations and military organisation, aspirations of fighters for freedom, their everyday life and activities. The exposition Nelygi kova (Unequal struggle) reveals the NKVD-NKGB struggle against armed resistance. At the present time the expositions Lietuvos gyventojai gulage: 1944-1956 (Lithuanians in the GULAG: 1944-1956) and Trėmimai: 1944-1953 (Deportations: 1944-1953) are being completed to be mounted on the first floor of the Museum .
